One of six children, Stephen’s parents divorced when he was 12. Stephen knows first hand the impacts of divorce on children and families, and he knows how to lessen the negative impact on all family members through collaborative efforts.

A member of the Virginia State Bar, Stephen is admitted to practice before all courts in the Commonwealth of Virginia. He is also admitted to practice before the United States District Court and the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Virginia.

He is a member of the Roanoke Bar Association and the Family Law Section of the Virginia Bar Association.
