Family Law Lawyers Who Combine Compassion with Toughness

We know that ending a marriage is a situation that all family members handle in their own way. In many cases couples have simply arrived at the more less mutual realization that their destinies lie along different paths.

Although it might be wishful thinking to say that the majority of divorces are between two individuals simply wishing each other the best and moving on, we do see it happen. And we’re happy to be involved when we as mediators can assist couples reach mutual decisions and separate in a positive manner especially when children are involved. Everyone knows by now that studies show positive, even if separate, co-parenting is always in the best interest of the child.

But as experienced family law attorneys we also understand that breaking up is hard to do. We know that sometimes an inability or unwillingness on one or both sides to communicate, to treat each other with respect and to get beyond fear and vulnerability mean that firmness is required.

In these cases we will fight for the necessities and security, if not the respect, that our clients deserve and need to live their lives going forward. Even if your soon-to-be-ex-spouse is unwilling to grant you the respect of peacefully going your separate ways, we will empower you, advise you and represent your best interests and the best interests of your children.

We have the knowledge and experience to deal with any family law matter from prenuptial agreements to custody agreements to putting and end to domestic violence.
