For Spouses and Significant Others

You never imagined that the person you're sharing your life with could do something that would result in a criminal charge.  This will be an overwhelming and challenging time, and you may question how you will be able to get through this experience.  You're going to need people in your life who are supportive of whatever decisions you make through this process.  Family and friends can comfort you, but they can't relate to your experience or give you insight into what to expect as events unfold.

I welcome the opportunity to help you throughout this time.  It may seem impossible that your relationship can withstand the stress of the legal process, and the possibility of incarceration.  However, I can tell you from experience, that your relationship can grow and ultimately be stronger than it ever was before your world was turned upside down.  I can help you find ways to rebuild trust, talk to your children about what is happening, and face the social challenges that come with having a loved one charged with criminal activity. There is light at the end of the tunnel.  I can help you stay focused on getting through this, and guide you to the best possible outcome for you and your family.
