For your convenience, we offer the answers to some frequently asked questions about divorce and family law.

A Comfortable Atmosphere for Uncomfortable Situations
Our attorneys live and work in your community. We understand the importance of your family in your life. We have helped a great many people and have probably helped someone who is a lot like you. Our experience includes:
- Working with people of modest means who do not have a history of being treated well by other lawyers or the court system
- Finding ways to negotiate and come to an agreeable solution for everyone involved and avoiding a costly and time-consuming divorce trial
- Making sure we are well prepared in case it becomes necessary to go to court
- Treating you with compassion and understanding, while behaving professionally at all times
- Taking a hands-on approach to your legal issue (you speak primarily with your attorney, rather than being able to reach only support staff)
