Experience and Compassion Matters

10+ Years of Experience

COVID-19 Notice – Our firm has been working remotely for years. We have not missed a beat. We are still processing family law cases, having hearings via video conference, and settling and finalizing cases every day.

Do you want to get a divorce, separation, or child custody plan without going through a nasty and public court battle? Are you a parent or family member trying to protect children from the dangers of physical and/or substance abuse?

We can help you:
* Reduce the conflict, cost & duration of the legal process

* Avoid hurt driven decisions that you will pay for financially & emotionally for years to come

* Protect & nurture your children through the process & changes to come

Family law cases, especially those involving children, are never “win or lose.” Moreover, research and experience has shown that when a family law case goes to trial, the real loser is the children.

We help divorcing and separating parents – and other family members seeking custody of related children – achieve long-term positive results for themselves and their children without a nasty and public court battle negotiating reasonable solutions to family problems using our trial experience and negotiation skills.

Call now to start resolving family conflict without a nasty courtroom battle.

*** NOTICE ABOUT SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES***
We can use the power of court orders to protect you and/or children from the dangers of physical abuse, substance abuse, and criminal behavior.
