Areas of Practice

Dissolutions: Our firm offers a full range of Family Law services relating to marital dissolutions and terminations of domestic partnerships. Our attorneys have extensive expertise in handling all aspects of family law including child custody and visitation, asset/debt division, child support, spousal/partner support, post marital agreements and nullity proceedings. Our firm handles these cases from the commencement of the proceedings through the final judgment, as well as post judgment issues such as custody and support modifications.

Parentage Actions: We represent both men and women in all aspects of parentage actions. We help fathers and mothers establish themselves as legal parents of their minor children. We have experience in handling both sides of cases involving a dispute regarding the identity of a child's legal parent. We represent parents trying to establish the identity of the other legal parent and we defend against wrongful attempts to have a person deemed responsible for a child who is not their own. We also handle the issues of custody and child support in cases where parentage has already been established.

Guardianships: We represent grandparents, other family members, and other unrelated individuals who are seeking guardianship of children who are not safe in their parents' care. We also represent parents in such cases to ensure their rights are fully protected and to defend against inappropriate guardianship attempts.

Juvenile Dependency: We represent parents, grandparents, foster parents and others involved in juvenile dependency cases.

Adoptions: We represent parents in Step-Parent and Registered Domestic Partner adoption proceedings.

Court-appointed Representation of Children: We are court-appointed to represent children at the requests of the Family, Probate and Juvenile Dependency Courts.
