Some of the most difficult legal issues which people confront arise when there are problems in their family relations.

Our firm has extensive experience dealing with all the legal issues that arise out of family relations, including divorce, child custody, support, and visitation; division of marital assets; domestic abuse and violence; alimony; dissolution of an “unmarried family”; establishment of paternity; grandparental visitation; prenuptial agreements; and children in need of services.

This area of law involves highly personal issues and experience has taught us that no two family situations are the same.  Sometimes the relationship between the parties is so acrimonious that it is difficult to resolve issues without legal assistance.  Often, the restructuring of a family presents very complicated issues and competing demands that must be evaluated carefully and put into their proper perspective.  In many cases, domestic relations clients have not dealt with lawyers before or have done so only in conjunction with their businesses, finances, or wills.  Our job is to listen to you, provide advice and counsel regarding all of the legal issues involved in your situation, and zealously represent your interests to obtain the best results possible consistent with the well being of any children involved.

          Our domestic relations clients are benefited by the fact that we are a full service firm, experienced in such areas as business, real estate, financial planning, and probate. Some of these related issues may arise in the course of many divorces and in premarital planning.  Whether you want to explore the possibility of a prenuptial agreement or are dissolving a marriage in which there are complex assets, we have the professional resources to meet your needs.  We provide highly personalized legal services, bolstered by experienced and caring paralegals who respect the privacy needs of our clientele.  We encourage your inquiries and welcome the opportunity to advise and represent you.
