Divorce & Family Law
A family is almost always a good thing. But families can be complicated. More and more, families, wives, and husbands call on lawyers and the courts when their families become too complicated and they know that something has to change.
When it comes to marital dissolution, some people believe that it is best to have a lawyer who is overly aggressive. A "junk yard dog lawyer", some might say. The lawyers at our firm will tell you that this is almost always a mistake. People are people. They are not perfect. People make mistakes, often in the choice of a spouse. But you do not have to destroy your family and children in order to dissolve your marriage.
Our firm strives to be sensitive and sensible when it comes to marital dissolution, support, custody, visitation, and the like. You are experiencing one of the most painful and confusing times of your life. Your lawyer should help you by being patient and listening to what you have to say. She can guide you to resources that can help you and your family, lessen your and their pain, and give hope. She can reassure you, whether in her office or in court, that your life will not always be pain and hurt, that these things will go away, and you can be happy and productive once again.
There are times when your lawyer must fight for you and your family. We are not afraid to do so, but we are always mindful that our job is to carry out your reasonable wishes and not to further damage your family. We know that you want your children to come first but we also know that you must get the help and representation you need in order to keep your children first. We know that you want a lawyer who is well-versed in family law and experienced in court. But most of all we know that you want to be happy again, to live again, to have joy again. In order to do this, your lawyer must stay on focus on what is right, just, and decent.
There is life after marital dissolution. We can help you get to this life.
