Stay Informed in Your Family Law Case

Many clients come to our firm after being dissatisfied with the communication and work of other lawyers. At our firm, you can expect to be educated about the process and kept informed about developments in your case. When so many emotions are involved, it can be easy to miss important details. However, with informed advice and guidance, you can feel confident that all issues are addressed and the decisions you make are smart and in your best interests and those your children.

We explain important issues, such as the factors considered in property division and why "equitable distribution" is not always a 50/50 split. We guide you through factors used in custody determinations and spousal support determinations.

Divorce Mediation or Litigation: We Are Here for You

There are benefits to settling family law matters outside of the courtroom. Out-of-court mediation or negotiation can be less contentious and more cost-effective than protracted litigation.

When this is the case, we will prepare and present your case effectively and as economically as we can.
