Family Law
Families are the heart of our society, the foundation upon which the rest of society builds and grows. As our concept of family evolves, by necessity, the laws that govern our family relationships such as marriage, divorce, property rights, child custody and visitation, and domestic partnerships, have also evolved. California, which is a dynamic, ever-growing state, has often been at the forefront of legal changes in the area of Family Law. Many Family Law Rights commonly recognized around the country today were first formulated and implemented in California.
We understand the importance of family. Whether it be a pre-nuptial agreement, an adoption, a non contested divorce or a hard fought custody battle, we understand that the case involves matters that may be more important to our clients than anything else in the world. We treat our clients and their cases with the respect and attention that such serious matters deserve.
We also understand that family law matters often involve a “once in a lifetime” event: a divorce, an adoption, a custody dispute, and that most non-lawyers are completely unfamiliar with the process of what they’re going through: “How long will it take?,” “Will I need to appear in Court?,” “Will we need to sell the house?,” “Who gets the kids for Christmas?” These are just some of the questions that cause fear and anxiety for people going through a process with which they’re not familiar. We recognize this and we make sure that we provide you information and answer your questions from the beginning to the end of your case. Your Case is Our Cause.
