Just as in every area of legal practice, your divorce attorney must be competent. The more unique or difficult your case, the more expertise your lawyer must have in order to properly advise you during representation. Of equal or greater importance, is ensuring that your lawyer is comfortable handling complex family law matters throughout our state.

Your advocate should understand the local rules and the local procedures, and they should have the resources and the experience to tailor their approach to your specific needs and goals. We bring these resources and skills to the table in every case we handle.

Some cases are best resolved by the parties themselves, in mediation, through collaborative divorce, or through some other form of negotiation. In other cases, such an approach is simply impossible. These cases must be litigated. In these types of cases, no lawyer is right for every case.
