A divorce lawyer helps you if you no longer want to be married. Whether you want a legal separation or the marriage ended, divorce lawyers assist you to arrange financial and family matters, typically in a negotiation with your spouse's lawyer. Alimony, child custody, child support, and a fair division of community assets (like who keeps the house or how your checking and savings accounts are divided) are matters that a divorce lawyer is trained to help determine.

Jill is always knowledgeable, professional and efficient. She gets the job done and makes it seem easy! She keeps you informed and up to date on your status. She also moved dates with court to accommodate student issues. I was very happy with results for both cases.
