Our Family Law Services

We provide representation for contested and uncontested divorces and their related issues as follows:

  • Divorce Mediation. Negotiation of your divorce through mediation allows you to avoid the stress, time, and expense of the adversarial process of a divorce trial. 
  • Collaborative Divorce. This process avoids courtroom trials through a process of cooperation between both sides and their attorneys to forge a mutually-beneficial settlement.
  • Litigation. Where a trial is needed, our team puts an abundance of courtroom experience on your side, backed up by the use of outside experts to fully support your case.
  • Division of Assets. We work to protect your rights in the division of community property that can include the family home, other real estate, bank accounts, vehicles, investments, retirement accounts, pensions, and any other significant assets.
  • Child Custody. This is often one of the most contested and emotionally challenging issues in a divorce. We focus on protecting your parental rights while serving your child’s best interests.
  • Alimony. Also known as spousal support, we can assert your rights in seeking or contesting these financial payments intended to support a financially disadvantaged spouse.

We also provide other family law services, from paternity cases to prenuptial and postnuptial agreements, enforcement and modification of custody and support orders, and cohabitation agreements. If you have a family matter for which you need answers and guidance, contact our team to discuss your needs.
