Family Law - Estate Planning - Real Estate

Times often arise when a qualified attorney may improve the outcome of a legal dispute. Just as often, a lawyer may help prevent problems from arising in the first place. Our law firm endeavors to be of assistance in both of these circumstances.

Due to the broad spectrum of topics and complex nature of practicing law, it is critical to seek the services of an attorney who has experience with and knowledge of the law relating to your legal issue. The following is list of some of the areas in which our firm provides comprehensive representation to our valued clients.

Family Law

Domestic relations and family law encompasses a broad spectrum of legal issues. These include divorce, annulment, legal separation, family offenses (orders of protection), custody and visitation, spousal support and maintenance, child support, and distribution of marital property. Issues of child abuse and neglect, children in need of supervision, juvenile delinquency, and other issues involving inter-personal relationships within a family are also involved. It can become extremely complicated. An attorney must be able to address the plethora of issues involved, remaining cognizant of the emotional aspects of domestic relations and family law proceedings, but at the same time, remaining pragmatic:

• Divorce, Annulment, and Legal Separation
• Child Abuse and Neglect
• Juvenile Delinquency
• PINS
• Custody and Visitation-Parenting Time
• Child Support
• Spousal Support and Maintenance
• Equitable Distribution of Marital Property
