I've been in practice for 25 years. My practice is primarily in the area of family law. I represent clients in divorce, paternity, child support, adoptions, domestic violence and time sharing. Navigating the legal system can be costly, financially and emotionally. I can help you understand your rights, assess your goals, and choose the path that is best for you.
My office also has a low cost project that can help you if your income is limited and your divorce is by agreement.
Practice areas
We are a family law firm, concentrating in the areas of divorce, child support, visitation/timesharing, paternity and adoptions. We provide representation in simple, uncontested divorces, without children or property for $150.00. Payment plans are available.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
Solangel is an amazing attorney. She was most definitely a formidable opponent and I was extremely impressed with her knowledge and understanding of very complex areas of family law. She aggressively fights for her client's rights and at the same time reaches positive outcomes by providing the highest standard of ethics and professionalism. She served as my opposing counsel on a case and we have also consulted with each other on other cases. I trust her implicitly. If you are considering hiring this attorney, you are making the right decision!
