"Prenuptial agreements have recently become much more common. In the past, most people would just get married and have a marriage license. But I think they are realizing that having a prenuptial agreement isn't necessarily meant to be insulting—it's simply a way of being responsible and being honest with their partner. There has also been a rise in same-sex marriages and related legal issues. Divorces of same-sex couples is still very new and uncharted territory."

With over 25 years dedicated to law, Ms. Sikorske brings a wealth of knowledge to her industry and in particular to her area of specialization, family law. When asked why she decided to pursue a career in law, Ms. Sikorske said:

"I've always enjoyed reading and analyzing, and I felt like being an attorney might suit those skills, so I decided when I was young to go into law school. After I graduated, I was a young prosecutor and loved trying cases. But I finally found my way to family law when I discovered how fulfilling it was to work one on one with clients and help them through what is often a very difficult time in their lives."

As a thought-leader in her field, Ms. Sikorske stresses the importance of having a deep understanding of prevailing trends in family law. In particular, she has been paying close attention to the rise of both prenuptial agreements and same-sex marriage issues. She noted:

"Prenuptial agreements have recently become much more common. In the past, most people would just get married and have a marriage license. But I think they are realizing that having a prenuptial agreement isn't necessarily meant to be insulting—it's simply a way of being responsible and being honest with their partner. There has also been a rise in same-sex marriages and related legal issues. Divorces of same-sex couples is still very new and uncharted territory."
