I specialize in providing trauma-informed legal representation and consultation for minor children affected by domestic violence, coercive control, sexual assault, and child abuse. I am available to consult on adult divorce and custody matters. I continue to provide adoption, third-party rights, and minor guardianship services. And I have recently added Parent Coordination to my practice.

My goal is to support children survivors with clear, compassionate, and knowledgeable guidance through some of the most complex and emotionally charged legal issues. And to help guide parents after the divorce or custody dispute has resolved as they navigate a new way of their children living in two households.

With a focus on safety, empowerment, and navigating a broken system, I help people understand their legal rights, available protections, and the steps involved in navigating family law, protective orders, adoption, custody concerns, and child protection.

My services include:

  • Legal education and strategy consulting for survivors and protective parents (through their attorneys)

  • Guidance on obtaining restraining/protection orders

  • Litigation and/or settlement negotiations on behalf of minor children in divorce, legal custody, minor protective proceedings, and third-party rights matters

  • Consulting on coercive control, emotional abuse, and legal-system abuse

  • Risk assessment and safety planning in legal contexts

  • Expert testimony in family law matters
  • Parent Coordination by court order

“No parent wants to impose [a] lifelong burden on his or her children. Most mothers and fathers express sadness when they recognize the serious toll that conflict takes on their children’s happiness and adult adjustment. Yet, many do not know how to stop fighting.”

“[P]arents are not helpless to stop the conflict… The longer the conflict lasts and the higher its intensity, the greater is the likelihood that the children will be seriously harmed. Having recognized that they are at high risk of remaining in conflict, parents can learn strategies and techniques to reduce children’s exposure to the conflict.” **

Tiffany’s work focuses on protecting children from this conflict as much as possible by carefully structuring each case based on each family’s individual needs. She provides personal and professional support during this emotional and turbulent process. If you need an advocate to fight for you and your child or children, Tiffany should be in your corner.
