Skilled Representation in All Areas of Family Law

If you face any of the following issues, the assistance of an attorney who has extensive experience with family law will be extremely valuable:

• Domestic violence: If you are dealing with issues of domestic violence, get legal help in protecting yourself. We can help you file for an injunction for protection against domestic violence (commonly known as a restraining order) and discuss other legal options with you.
  
• Paternity: Whether you are looking to establish legal paternity for your child or someone has filed a paternity suit against you, we will explain your options and the legal consequences.
  
• Juvenile cases: Whenever your minor child is involved with any sort of legal dispute, you need a lawyer who's experienced in dealing with the specific procedures and standards that apply in juvenile cases.
  
• Family agreements: Families and households can establish many agreements through contracts that might otherwise become contentious later on. We have experience in drafting prenuptial agreements, "living together" agreements and agreements between nontraditional couples.
  
• Legal separation: When you don't want to go so far as to get a divorce but are looking at separation, we will help you through the unique aspects of that process, including division of assets.
