In the divorce process, people are faced with a wide range of issues and concerns — everything from the legal and financial to the many concerns about their children, themselves, and their future. During the divorce process, decisions must often be made in the midst of pain, anger, confusion, and emotional turmoil. Roselynn appreciates the opportunity she has to work with her clients and uses both her professional and personal experience to help her clients reach their goals, to understand the legal process of a divorce, and to guide and advise them with knowledge and sensitivity.

​Roselynn went through a divorce after a long-term marriage and is happily remarried.  She has two wonderful adult children, two perfect grandchildren, and a very cute dog. Her favorite leisure activities are yoga, reading good fiction, baking, cooking, decorating, and going to movies, theater, and concerts.
