 How We Can Help 

Divorce

It is never too early to seek the advice of a competent divorce attorney.  If you are in the process of separating from your spouse or suspect that this may happen in the future, you need to learn the basic rules about divorce that will protect you.

Custody

Navigating the Family Court system can be a trying and taxing experience. Do you call the Department of Human Resources? How do you receive and enforce child support? What do you do if your children are taken from you?

Adoption

Adoption is a wonderful thing. The process of adoption allows you and your family to welcome a child in need into your hearts and home. However, the process of adoption can be very stressful. If legal matters aren’t addressed, your family’s future could be at stake.

FAMILY LAW WITH CARE

GENTLY GUIDING CLIENTS THROUGH LIFE CHANGES

About Us

First and foremost, a family law practitioner must be patient, caring, and communicative with their clients. Divorce is scary. Custody proceedings are scary. Dividing one’s assets and preparing for the future is scary. It is our job, as attorneys, to listen, alleviate fears as we can, and gently guide our clients through these life changes. We keep clients abreast of not only their legal rights but also of the community resources available to them to help transition into a new phase of their lives. We tell every client that they hire us to do their worrying for them, and it is an honor to be entrusted to do such.
