Gary D Sparks

Helping families resolve their difficult legal matters.

The Law Offices of Gary D. Sparks is a family law, divorce, probate and estate planning practice dedicated to providing the personalized attorney services you need during the most challenging times in your life.

We understand how difficult and emotional legal matters can be for your family, and strive to provide you with compassionate and results-oriented service as we work together to achieve your goals. We are very protective of our clients’ rights, and work hard to achieve fair settlements for them. But when necessary, we litigate aggressively to protect our clients’ interests. At the same time, we do our best to set reasonable expectations and help our clients understand the range of possible outcomes.

Flat-Fee Divorce – An Innovative Approach to Family Law

Concerned about your legal fees? You should be. The fact is that working with an attorney can be expensive. However it doesn’t have to put you or your family into bankruptcy, nor does it have to keep you awake at night wondering how much your attorney’s next bill will be.

We are one of the first California family law firms to offer flat-fee, fixed-rate pricing for both contested and uncontested divorces. Flat-fee billing removes the uncertainty from the process and gives you peace of mind and the ability to know up front and in advance what your case is going to cost.

Legal Solutions. Trusted Advocacy. Affordable Options.

We specialize in all aspects of California family law, including divorce, legal separation, annulment, paternity, child custody and visitation, child support, spousal support (alimony), domestic violence, community property and debt division, prenuptial agreements, marital agreements and post-divorce modifications.

We also provide estate planning instruments such as wills, codicils, living and special trusts, durable powers of attorney and California advance health care directives, as well as probate services including estate administration, spousal property petitions, claims litigation and will contests.

At The Law Offices of Gary D. Sparks, you have the advantage of working with an experienced California attorney who brings a fresh perspective to the practice of family, estate and probate law by working hard to resolve your legal conflicts and not by creating more of it. In addition to full-service representation, we offer a broad range of other services, including legal counseling and mediation, tailored to your specific needs and budget.

Attorney Profile

Attorney Gary D. Sparks is a graduate of John F. Kennedy University School of Law, where he graduated magna cum laude at the top of his class. While in law school, he clerked for the Family Law court, and was certified by the State Bar of California to engage in the limited practice of law while still a student. He worked for several years as a student instructor and thereafter as a teaching assistant at the School of Law, and today continues to privately tutor and mentor law students in their studies and in preparation for the bar exam.

Prior to founding the firm in 2009, Gary was a partner at Holmes, Moore & Sparks, a well-known family law firm in Walnut Creek with a rich, 25+ year history of successful family law advocacy.

Gary has a reputation in the family law community for being firm, yet fair, in dealing with other parties and attorneys. His time clerking for the court has given him valuable insight and experience into the inner workings of our legal system, flawed as it may be. Gary enjoys legal research and analysis, and practices law from the perspective of a divorce father who learned the legal system firsthand during his own highly contested custody case.

Gary is a member of the State Bar of California, the American Bar Association, the Contra Costa County Bar Association, the Solano County Bar Association, the Los Angeles County Bar Association, and the Bay Area Regional Standing Committee of FLEXCOM (Family Law Executive Committee of the State Bar). He is admitted to practice law in all state courts throughout California.
