About Our Family Law Practice
We lead with competence and compassion
At Alaimo Boyer, we are an experienced family law firm that is committed to working with clients who are in need of a resolution. We develop a simple plan of action which honors your non-negotiable terms, promotes equitable compromise, and allows both parties to move forward towards a better future.
We understand the costly impact legal matters can have on a family, and commit ourselves to providing proactive legal support that seeks fair and reasonable resolution.
Our process is simple.
While many attorneys may over promise and under deliver, we feel our clients cannot make informed decisions without understanding the range of potential outcomes. Regardless of how simple your specific case may present, we will ensure that you are prepared for every possible scenario.
EVALUATE
We EVALUATE your case and provide sound legal counsel.
MEDIATE
We MEDIATE a mutually agreeable outcome without involving a courtroom, to save you money and the emotional tax of litigation.
LITIGATE
We LITIGATE when the opposing party seeks to keep from you what is fair and reasonable. You can feel secure that we have explored all mediation options, and will present a strong case in court.
