Family Law
Areas of Practice
You have a right to fair and
reasonable outcomes
However difficult this road may feel, we are here to guide you. Our experience in the following areas ensures you reach a resolution that is both fair and quick.
Divorce, Legal Separation, & Nullity
Move from initial pleadings to final resolution.
We are committed to guiding you every step of the way, and ensuring you receive sound, experienced legal counsel to achieve a peaceful and fair resolution. You deserve to move forward towards a better future, and we will help you do just that.
Mediation & Collaborative Practice
Bridge the gap with a third party neutral.
We are thoroughly trained in mediation techniques, have successfully resolved many cases outside of court, and can help you achieve a more peaceful solution.
Property Division
Review your rights when it comes to property and reimbursement.
Our goal is to assess every possible property and reimbursement claim, and reach a settlement that is both fair and reasonable for both parties.
Child Custody & Visitation
Prioritize your child’s best interest.
We understand that your primary concern is the safety and wellbeing of your child. Therefore, we utilize all of our ample resources and legal knowledge to ensure your children are protected. While there is no ‘one size fits all’ approach to custody and visitation matters, we have experience in a variety of both simple and complex cases.
Whether you have a full agreement, or are involved in a heavily contested case that requires expert testimony, parenting coordinators, or psychological evaluations, we will help you achieve an outcome that prioritizes your children’s interests.
Child Support
Ensure your child’s financial needs are met.
The cost of raising a child can be substantial, but as a single parent it can be nearly impossible. We have worked with clients to ensure their divorce or separation from their spouse does not comprise their financial security. We will seek a fair and reasonable resolution between both parties through effective mediation techniques, and will go to court should we be unable to find an appropriate solution.
Whether you need to set initial child support, pay too much in support, receive too little, or simply want a professional to review your case, we will present to you every possibility to ensure your child support obligation is calculated properly.
Spousal Support
Maintain your marital standard of living.
Whether you are pursuing temporary support, setting permanent support, or modifying support, we will walk you through the process and towards the outcome that is best for you.
Domestic Violence Restraining Orders
Ensure the safety of all parties involved.
We have experience in successfully representing clients through contested restraining orders and can help you reach the right resolution.
Appeals & Writs
Determine if errors were made in your case.
We have experienced success at the Court of Appeal, and will thoroughly review your case to help determine if an appeal would be appropriate, and how to best proceed.
