With our skilled attorneys on your side, you can feel confident that you, your children, your finances and your future are in good hands.

Talk to us about:

  • Divorce : We often encourage clients to consider collaborative law as a way to reach divorce agreements. In this way, your emotions and your finances can be protected better than if you engaged in litigation. We handle all aspects of divorce from divorce asset protection planning to complex property division to spousal maintenance, and more.
  • Child custody : We protect your rights as well as the best interests of your children as we seek child custody and visitation arrangements. We strive for the best possible legal custody, physical custody and visitation agreements given the specific nature of you and your kids.
  • Child support : We can ensure that the support you will be paying or receiving was calculated appropriately.
  • Paternity: Please talk to us if you need assistance with a paternity action. When paternity is established, the father can be responsible for child support and may have rights to custody and visitation.
