Family law is a large area of law as varied as the families it covers. These cases involve complex legal details but they are also rooted in deep emotional and social bonds. While all types of lawyers need to be well versed in the law, family law attorneys also need to have a deep understanding of people, relationships, and how people act and react under extraordinary stress. That is what we strive to do here.
Areas of Family Law
Family law covers the legal areas of some of the best and some of the worst stages of life. These include, but are not limited to:
- Divorce;
- Child Custody Disputes;
- Child Support Disputes;
- Spousal Rights Disputes;
- Premarital Agreements;
- Guardianship;
- Domestic Violence and Orders of Protection; and
- Adoption.
Unique Solutions for Unique Problems
While some problems are best resolved in the courtroom, we understand that other alternatives to litigation can often be faster, more cost-effective, and in the long term more beneficial for some clients. That’s why in addition to being ready and willing to litigate cases in court, we pride ourselves on our mediation, conflict resolution, and collaborative law practice. In some cases, rather than being an advocate for one side, a couple or family can hire us as a mediator to act as a trained neutral party to help them resolve their disputes. Also in the mediation context we can act as an advocate for one side with a different mediator. In collaborative law cases one party would hire us and the other would hire a different attorney and both sides would agree to resolve the dispute through negotiation, rather than litigation.
