Once I began practicing in the area of Family Law, one of my mentors said to me, “There are no winners in Family Law.” And the truth is, there are none. While that is a stark reality, it is not a sad one.

If you have ever had an opportunity to read my twitter, you will see that much of the stories I Retweet and talk about are legal stories (naturally). I share these stories for one of two reasons, one because I'm a news junkie and find news interesting. But also, because I think there is a lot that can be learned about our society from the legal environment. Historically and traditionally, there

For the most part, I managed to hold true to my "anti-Kardashian" mantra until the latest

I knew how old she was and her age didn’t “fit” what I thought breast cancer “looked” like. I asked Cherise to guest blog in our continued focus on Breast Cancer during the month of October. I hope it touches you as much as it touched me.
I am the youngest and only girl in a family of
