My Spirit of  Commitment

At age 18, I was a professional ballet dancer in NYC. I realized a dream with discipline, skill, passion and perseverance. One of my proudest moments was when my special needs daughter performed in her wheelchair the Waltz of the Flowers from The Nutcracker with the New England Ballet Company. This is the same spirit and commitment I bring to all my clients. To learn more about how I can serve your needs, please visit our website.

American Bar Association national webinar: "Divorce Matters: Separation With a Special Needs Child" I was the financial expert discussing the challenges of divorce when a special needs child is involved. Facing the challenges of divorce are never easy but an added factor of a special needs child can be a major hurdle. A cookie cutter approach to divorce will be highly unlikely as special care is needed to address transition planning, health and medical care, public benefit assistance, and special education needs. Decisions regarding the best interest of the child require a thorough evaluation and divorcing parents should take a thoughtful approach. ABA members can the view the webinar at the ABA website.


Upcoming Presentation on March 16th, “Divorce Mythbusters”is a series of public speaking events. Lili co-presents with Maurice Segall, Attorney Mediator, at the JCC in Woodbridge on the topic of the foundation of actual divorce facts in CT while dispelling common divorce “myths.” This presentation is open to all divorce professionals, therapists, and anyone contemplating or going through divorce.
