What is Family Law

A brief definition of family law is, a specific area of civil law that includes domestic relations, family matters, and legal aspects of marriages and domestic partnerships.

Where do I start for solving my problem?

Most family law matters are not of an urgent nature. The first step is to organize your information, and meet with a family law expert. During your consultation you can get answers to your questions and learn about possible legal solutions. Getting accurate information from a family law attorney will enable you to make smart decisions on how to proceed.

What results or outcome can I expect?

Every family law case has it's own unique characteristics. To answer this question you need to meet with a lawyer and discuss your situation. With a reasonable understanding of your situation a lawyer can give you a reasonable range of potential outcomes. What we can say here is that our track record in family law matters should give you confidence in our capabilities.

Do I really need to hire a lawyer?

Family law issues are complex, and almost always require an attorney to navigate the system. If your situation is important enough to pursue a legal solution, you cannot afford to make mistakes. Before you risk failure, call us for a consultation to discuss your situation and potential outcomes. During your consultation we can give you a free cost estimate for our services.
