The Kinshield idea.
Kin: the people who matter most. Shield: the protection they deserve.
That idea shapes how we practice. Whether we're standing beside a parent through a CPS investigation, representing a business in a contract dispute, or handling a personal injury claim, the work is the same at its core: protecting what matters, with the preparation and composure a serious matter deserves.
Our approach
Protection
When your family is under scrutiny or your future is uncertain, you deserve an advocate focused on protecting what matters.
Strategy
Serious matters require preparation, clear thinking, and a plan.
Advocacy
When the stakes are high, having someone prepared to stand beside you matters.
Our practices
We represent individuals, families, and businesses across family law, child custody, criminal defense, personal injury, workers' compensation, and civil litigation, with particular depth in Child Protective Services and Children and Youth Services matters.
