Family Law

Family law involves dissolution of marriage (divorce), child custody, child support, spousal support, property division, and other family-related issues.  This is a very fact and circumstance driven area of the law, and facts and circumstances can change as cases evolve. 

A legal opinion by a family law specialist is important to ensure you are aware of all of your legal options and provided the best guidance as to the direction you should take.  These cases can affect a person's life and future with long-term effects.  It is very important to have the right attorney help you in this difficult time.   

Obtaining professional advice at the outset will ensure a better outcome as you will be well represented, avoiding mistakes that may have a negative impact due to a lack of understanding of the law and court system.
