How Our Family Law Team Works
We begin every client relationship with a careful, confidential consultation to understand the facts, the family dynamics, and the goals. From there we build a practical plan tailored to your case — favoring negotiation when appropriate, and preparing for trial when needed.
Collaborative & Mediation Options — When Peaceful Resolution Is Best
Mediation and collaborative law approaches often produce more durable agreements with less emotional strain and lower cost than litigation.
Trial-Ready Advocacy — When Court Is Necessary
Our trial experience ensures that your case is not only negotiated wisely but also litigated effectively if required.

Documentation & Evidence: Prepare for Your Consultation
Good documentation speeds case resolution and strengthens negotiation. When you meet your attorney, bring:
- Recent pay stubs, bank statements, and tax returns (3–5 years if available).
- Titles/deeds to property, retirement account statements, and business documents.
- Existing court orders, separation agreements, or protection orders.
- Records of communication, calendar entries, and evidence relevant to custody or support.
If you have documents stored in cloud or shared drives, you may share them securely with your attorney prior to the meeting. For secure upload instructions, view more.
Protecting Your Rights During Separation
If you’re separated, it’s critical to act quickly to secure temporary orders for custody, support, or exclusive use of the home when safety or finances require it.
In complex cases — for example when businesses or substantial assets are involved — we coordinate valuations and forensic accounting to protect your interest.
