She also drafts ands reviews Cohabitation Agreements and Marital Agreements.

Brianne’s professional strengths include her writing skills, meticulous attention to detail, and ability to communicate effectively, both with her clients and with opposing parties and attorneys. She understands that each case is different, and crafts her legal approach to every case according to her client’s needs.
