Family law requires a whole person approach. Your lawyer must also have that whole person “know how” and skills that make a lawyer complete both as a person and as a professional. Family law requires not only a knowledgeable lawyer that understands the law, but also a counselor at law and a trusted advisor. When you walk into our offices for your initial consultation, we already understand your pain. We understand that your life has been turned upside down and these are the lows in your relationship. We also understand that things will be hard and will probably not get easier for you for a while. You have just lost all your confidence and trust in someone that you had loved for all those years. You had never expected this to happen. None of us do! Again, we do understand and we know the path that is ahead of you. We will guide you and help you make that journey. A divorce, separation, custody, visitation, move away requests, supervised visitations, supervised exchanges, restraining order (temporary or permanent), whether you are the Petitioner or the Respondent, Domestic Violence (DV), cultural barriers, language difficulties, financial issues, earning issues, income issues, imputed income, timeshare, properties, debts, community or quasi community property, separate property, marital settlements, prenuptials, postnuptial, business division, corporate assets, sole propriety ownerships, division of assets and debts, financial disclosures, OFAC issues, separation, date of separation, foreign service of the Summons and Petition, financial fiduciary obligations to your spouse, and any other family law related issues including the related immigration and bankruptcy issues will have a toll on you—We understand! However, you are where you are in life and it is our job to help you move forward in life. It will be our task to gain your trust and in turn to make your legal issues easier to understand and to resolve. This will not necessarily be inexpensive, but you know that we will fight for you and we will not give up on you.
