Domestic & Family Law

Divorce Isn't Easy...

Everyone has either gone through a divorce or knows someone who has.  The same goes for custody battles.  These cases are hard.  They are emotional and they are trying to all parties involved.  Even parents with the best intentions can disagree on planning and dealing with the future of their children when they are no longer together.  Our attorneys have the experience and the compassion to help you through some of the lowest times you may experience as a spouse and/or parent.  We have been there through the child support hearings, the divorce proceedings and the Termination of Parental Rights actions.  Through it all, we stress to our clients that the Family Court is a court of equity and as such, the court has a tremendous amount of power when it comes to making decisions for all parties.  This plays a huge role in the reasons why anyone who tries to proceed through a Family Court case without an attorney does so at a large and often very costly disadvantage.  Our goal is to help our clients reach a resolution that not only puts the past behind them but also lets them move on in a productive way without losing access to the people and things you care the most about, whether it requires complete detachment from the opposing party or involvement in the co-parenting of a minor child. 

We have taken on DSS and strived to hold them accountable when they become a part of our client’s families.  We have argued for the best interest of the minor children in custody and termination proceedings.  We have challenged the law when it is no longer equitable and our clients have suffered.  We have aided our clients in obtaining settlements that allow them to live separate and apart from their former spouses without having to lower their standard of living or claim bankruptcy.

Experience Is Key:

After practicing this type of law for years, we will be the first to admit that family law cases are not easy and there is rarely a pain-free resolution waiting on the horizon.  However, having an experienced attorney at your side who is willing to fight for you can make all the difference when you come before the court.  We strive to give you the best legal advice and inform you of all available options and to present your case to the court in the best possible light that it can be.  Whether it is a name change for you or your minor child, or it is a request to modify custody, or an action for Separate Maintenance and Support, our attorneys are here to guide you.
