We explain the law, talk strategy with clients the entire way, and tailor our practice to best meet their unique needs.

Money may be at the center of many divorce disputes, but custody and visitation battles tend to be the most contentious.

The financial aspects of family law can be exceedingly complex, especially if couples own extensive property or have major debts and have wildly different viewpoints on how it should be divided.
