The idea to start my own law practice, DL Washington Law, arose after the birth of my beautiful son, now 22 months old. As a single mother, I thought it was absolutely impossible to own my own business. I thought about health insurance and job security, but then I realized what I sacrificed everyday by working for someone else and missing out and ,often, having to make the decision on whether or not to attend a doctor’s appointment or a fruitless meeting.

Although, I provide a variety of unbundled legal services, the focus of my practice is single parents. I am an undying champion and advocate for those of us who do not have another parent to assist with the load that comes with raising children, for one reason or another. What I hope to achieve in this blog as well as in my legal practice is to offer real-life assistance to single parents as well as modest-income New Yorkers seeking legal assistance, in a non-judgmental forum. I look forward to interacting with fellow New Yorkers in the future.
