Defend your rights and protect the ones you love the most by trusting the right attorney for the matter at hand. Whether you’re in need of a divorce attorney or assistance in acquiring legal child custody, my first-hand knowledge will provide the insight needed to handle the case properly. I serve as a trusted legal source in a variety of specialties, meaning you’ll never have to face these stressful matters alone.

Divorce

Expedite the process of leaving your spouse by working with an experienced divorce attorney. My divorce legal services are here to help you find creative and cost-saving divorce options that will benefit you and your family. Working with a professional will not only provide you with legal advice to lessen the stress of the ordeal but will also help to settle disputes over property and other matters to ensure a smooth litigation process. I’ll work tirelessly as your advocate during this difficult time.

Child Support

Working with a child support attorney is the best way to ensure you’re providing the best quality of life for your children. Assessing income and state regulations, we’ll come to an agreement that’s beneficial and safe for all parties involved. I’ll work with you to take into consideration the gross income and the amount of time each parent spends with the shared children so child support will be calculated accurately. Seeking the expertise of a child support attorney will ensure you're receiving the right amount of money to raise your children in safe and healthy living conditions.

Child Custody

Protect the health and well-being of your children by hiring a child custody attorney that’s well-versed in these proceedings. When negotiating for joint or sole child custody when going through a divorce, count on me to communicate often to explain every step of the process. Taking into consideration state child custody laws and divorce agreement factors, I’ll fight for the best outcome for your children. My approach is to handle these matters with compassion and understanding, giving you the support you need from beginning to end.

Visitation

Establishing visitation in an amicable way requires the expertise of a skilled family lawyer to ensure ideal results and satisfy the wishes of all parties involved. When one parent is granted sole custody, it is important for the other parent to establish visitation rights; I understand the sensitivity in these matters and will work to minimize stress for my clients. These visitation rights are granted through the court in the event of a divorce, separation, or amendment of an existing parenting plan.

Orders of Protection

Obtaining orders of protection is a stressful ordeal but very necessary if domestic violence has occurred. This legal restraint, issued by a judge, is typically in effect for one year and will prohibit individuals from committing further acts of violence toward you. Working with a family lawyer will help you to gain access to the right resources to protect you from your abuser.

Adoptions

Pursuing adoption is a unique process for every client, making it vital to hire the right family lawyer. I handle contested and uncontested step-parent adoptions, relative adoptions, and non-relative adoptions. This process can be extremely complex, especially in cases of parents denying their consent to terminate parental rights. My first-hand knowledge as a renowned family lawyer will assist in creating the best plan of action every step of the way.

Name Changes

Obtaining a court-ordered name change can be a simple process when hiring an attorney experienced in the process. Whether you’re changing your name due to a recent marriage or other personal reasons, it will be handled efficiently to prevent unnecessary hassle. I’ll ensure the proper legal forms are completed and filed correctly.
