Divorce and Separation 42%

Divorce is a difficult process to navigate. I assist my clients to maintain a forward looking perspective and remain focused on the children when appropriate.

42%
Uncontested Divorce 42%

The "Best" divorce is when the parties have come to an agreement before you come to court. This may be achieved by negotiation or mediation. Litigation is the worst case scenario and is generally best avoided, when possible.

23 years | 99 cases

42%
Child Custody 9%

"Our child" is one of the most difficult phrases for separated parents to employ. Children deserve to have both parents involved in their lives. Put them first, put aside relational differences and do the best for them that you can as they are y/our future.

Outstanding Professional!

Atty.Bedford is a great advocate for his clients. He thorough and honest professional. He worked tirelessly on my case, and constantly measured every factor to ensure that I was fairly treated. He kept me focused on what really mattered, both for the family, and financially for me. He has a ton of ex...perience, which he used to help me navigate the legal system. I highly recommend him if you need an attorney for family law.

Great Attorney

I had a consultation over the phone with Mr Bedford. I did not feel rushed. I took my time to explain my case. He is very honest and gave me valuable advice. Thank you Mr Neville

Not a lawyer, a representative for YOU!

I asked a really tough question, and most lawyer's I've personally spoken to have, essentially, said (nicely): "Thank you but no thank you." But this was not the case with Attorney Bedford, which gives me the confidence that when times are tough, he is someone I can count on.

Honest Thorough Knowledgeable Attorney

My case was an extremely difficult case. It concerned my husband who for 8 months had been running with and hiding Children I had custody of through several states. My husband was very difficult and confrontational and attempted to lie to the court, which caused undo problems and major obstacles. My ...attorney worked until midnight at times to ensure the success of my case, even showing up at scene where police and other officials had to break the door down at a house where my husband was keeping our children. He was compassionate and very knowledgeable about the aspects of my case. He is an amazing character and has character. My case was apparently one of only a few cases like this and he is the attorney that has won all of them. He has been an attorney for many many many years and I recommend him very highly.

MY EXPERIENCE WITH NEVILLE BEDFORD

Neville Bedford just helped me to get a divorce that I never thought I'd be able to get. Neville explained to me what was going to happen and how long it would take and just how he explained it that is was exactly how it happened, he was always available when I needed to ask questions and he always g...ot back to me right. I would strongly recommend Neville Bedford until the day I die if you need a divorce and I ever need a lawyer ever again I would not think twice to call him.
