Tiffany frequently presents at continuing education seminars and in 2011 received the Continuing Legal Education Crest Award, an award given to the top young lawyer presentation by the State Bar of New Mexico.
Tiffany’s practice is focused on a wide array of family law cases including complex divorce cases involving business valuation, property division, child custody, child support, and pre/postnuptial agreements. She is a skilled negotiator who seeks creative solutions both inside and outside the courtroom.
