I'm currently a partner and attorney with a family law firm in Walnut Creek, CA and I live on the outskirts of the San Francisco Bay Area (one of the most beautiful places on earth).

I recently treated myself to a return trip to Germany, where I was born and raised until moving to the U.S. in 1977. This trip was a well-check on my elderly grandmother, but ...(read more)
