My legal practice is dedicated to helping clients resolve divorce, property, support, and custody issues, and to move forward in a positive direction.  My team and I guide our clients through the legal, emotional, and financial aspects of the divorce process as efficiently and effectively as possible.  We rely on our significant experience and knowledge to navigate you through the challenges associated with marital and child related conflicts.

I enjoy working with clients who are forward looking and focused on finding solutions, particularly those clients who engage in the Collaborative Process. In addition to representing individual clients, I also serve as a mediator.

I view the attorney-client relationship as a partnership.  My role is to educate my clients regarding the law, settlement and litigation options, provide advice and guidance regarding each potential strategy, and to make recommendations.  My client’s role is to participate in the process by outlining goals, providing relevant information, and actively participating in making decisions.  My top priority is to develop a strategy that is best suited to accomplishing my client’s goals.

I enjoy working on cases that involve complex financial issues.  I have handled numerous cases involving closely-held businesses, high-income earners, complex compensation and retirement packages, tracing separate and premarital property, real estate investments, private equity investments, securities, government pensions, and various other investments.  I have an extensive background in financial issues that began with my undergraduate degree from the McIntire School of Commerce at the University of Virginia.

My colleagues and I opened Cooper Ginsberg Gray, PLLC in 2004 with the goal of providing high-quality, effective, dedicated, and cost-effective representation to individuals going through family turmoil.  We have worked together to become a top family law firm in Northern Virginia.  We have accomplished this by placing the needs and desires of our clients first.  We are accessible, and will be by your side as you take each step through the legal process.

I earned my law degree from the Antonin Scalia Law School at George Mason University in 1996.  I have practiced family law throughout my legal career, but have been handling family law cases exclusively since 1998.

I have been honored to be recognized on multiple occasions as one of the area’s top divorce lawyers in the Washingtonian Magazine, Arlington Magazine, and Northern Virginia Magazine, a member of the Legal Elite by Virginia Business, Super Lawyers, and included in The Best Lawyers in America.  I earned an AV Preeminent Rating from Martindale Hubbell, a leading peer review rating entity for legal professionals.

Since 2012, I have taught Law Practice Management at my alma mater, Antonin Scalia Law School at George Mason University, as an adjunct professor.  I co-authored “How Successful Law Firms Really Work,” a book designed to help attorneys establish and run a law practice.

I previously served as a board member and in leadership roles for the Collaborative Professionals of Northern Virginia, Virginia Collaborative Professionals, Shelter House, Antonin Scalia Law School’s Alumni Association Board, and Fairfax Law Foundation.  I am an active member of the Virginia State Bar, Collaborative Professionals of Virginia, Fairfax Bar Association, and the American Bar Association.

In my spare time, I enjoy playing tennis and paddle boarding, coaching basketball, and am an avid photographer.
