FAMILY LAW
Advocates For The Family.
Disputes among family members can be messy, complicated, and often, heartbreaking. When emotions are charged, clients need cooler heads to prevail and the wisdom of objective counsel. The stakes are particularly high when children are involved.
Clients often come to us feeling helpless and overwhelmed. In our experience, the more educated a client is, the more empowered they feel. We assess their situation and develop a realistic legal strategy. We discuss potential options with both worst and best-case scenarios. We also collaborate with other attorneys to arrive at a non-adversarial outcome for all parties. If we do have to go to court, we fight passionately for our clients.
Family law is different from other types of law in that we are representing people—not businesses or corporations—at the most difficult time of their lives. It is a great privilege to be entrusted with details about their children, their finances, and their relationships. Many times, compassion and sensitivity are almost as important as legal acumen. Our goal is always to help families heal and move forward.
We represent clients in a wide variety of family law matters, including:
Divorce - collaborative, litigated, uncontested
Mediation
Custody
Child support
Adoption
Pre- and post-nuptial agreements
Modification and enforcement of custody and child support
Family offense proceedings
Orders of protection
Qualified domestic relations orders
Attorney for the Child
