Biography

Family law cases are deeply personal, often life-changing, and always emotionally charged. At Donaldson Stewart, PC, we understand that family law is not just about legal outcomes—it’s about securing a future not just to survive, but to thrive. As a second-career attorney with real-life experience, I bring a unique perspective to my practice. I know what’s at stake, and I fight tirelessly to help my clients navigate these challenging times with confidence.

A Career Built on Dedication & Real-Life Experience

My journey to the legal profession was anything but conventional. I worked full-time while attending law school at night, driven by a relentless work ethic and a passion for advocacy. Before transitioning to family law, I served as a prosecutor in the Family Violence Unit of the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office, where I handled domestic violence, homicide, and child abuse cases. That experience reinforced my commitment to protecting survivors and helping families find stability in the aftermath of difficult circumstances.

A Personal Understanding of Family Law

I don’t just practice family law—I’ve lived it. I’ve been through divorce myself, and I understand the challenges and successes of co-parenting with a former spouse firsthand. In addition, my wife and I are raising two children, including one with special needs. These experiences shape the way I approach my work—with empathy, strategic thinking, and a fierce commitment to securing the best possible outcomes for my clients and their children.

Mediate First. Litigate When Necessary.

At Donaldson Stewart, PC, we believe in pursuing non-litigated dispute resolution whenever possible. However, when litigation is unavoidable, I am a formidable advocate. With a deep command of the rules of evidence and procedure, I have a reputation for being one of the hardest-working attorneys in family law. I excel in trial preparation and strategy, ensuring that my clients are always prepared for the next step.

A Team That Cares | Whole Client Representation

At Donaldson Stewart, PC, we provide whole client representation, understanding that legal battles don’t happen in isolation. My colleagues and I offer a balanced approach—resolving cases amicably when possible and litigating effectively when necessary. Behind the scenes, I work with a world-class staff that is detail-oriented, reliable, and committed to providing exceptional service to our clients. We are known as friendly, ethical, and highly effective professionals who put our clients first.
