Meeting Your Family's Legal and Emotional Needs
We know what you are going through, we care about your family's individual emotional needs, and we offer practical solutions to your issues. Each of us have been practicing attorneys for more than 15 years, and we know how to help you resolve all of your family law concerns, including:
- Divorce — Ending a marriage can be complicated. We will help you make the important decisions required to protect your interests throughout the entire process.
- Child custody and support — We know the heartbreak that comes with child custody disputes. We will offer practical parenting plan options that meet the unique needs of your family and we will fight for what is best for your child or children.
- Children with Special Needs — Child custody disputes pose unique challenges for families of childen with special needs. As "Special Masters" and "Parenting Plan Coordinators" we assist parents in providing for their child's unique medical, educational, emotional and developmental needs.
- Domestic violence — Our attorneys are especially experienced in dealing with domestic violence issues, both for victims of such abuse and for those who may have been falsely accused of that abuse. We will represent you in restraining order hearings to protect your rights and the rights of your children, who may have been harmfully exposed to domestic violence in the family.
Sometimes, our clients' interests are best served through mediation and collaborative law. These forms of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) offer an opportunity to reach cooperative, collaborative solutions that truly meet your family's needs.
We know the impact family law disputes have on your family, and we are dedicated to helping make your future as bright as possible. Call 818-305-6494 or contact us online to schedule an appointment with an experienced California family lawyer.
