- Clarification of Retired Pay Awards: Nationally recognized for drafting and litigating court clarification orders required by the Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) and Office of Personnel Management (OPM).
- Federal Civil Service Divorce: Resolving retirement apportionment under CSRS and FERS systems for civilian federal employees and their spouses.
