Many people hesitate to contact a divorce attorney because they are afraid of how much hiring a lawyer will cost. The reality, however, is that the expense of hiring an attorney is often much less than the possible costs of making a mistake during the divorce process. A seemingly minor error could result in thousands of dollars in lost property or payments that could have been avoided with the help of a qualified lawyer.

• Dividing marital property and debts;
• Spousal maintenance;
• Allocating parental responsibilities (child custody);
• Parenting time schedules; and
• Child support.

When you contact our firm, we will begin by meeting with you to discuss your situation and to develop an understanding of what you will need to start moving forward with your life. Based on that information, we will facilitate discussions between you and your spouse toward a reasonable settlement that will continue to meet your needs for many years to come. If an agreement cannot be reached through negotiation, our attorneys are experienced litigators who will fight for your best interests in court.

• Divorce involving significant assets or high net-worth individual;
• Divorce involving accusations of domestic abuse or infidelity;
