We are a small law firm that focuses exclusively in the area of Family Law. I had a few goals in mind when I started practicing, one being that I would provide quality and competent advice/service for an affordable price. Most of the work I accept is on a fixed fee basis, or via a traditional retainer. At our law office, you are not treated like a client, but rather like family. We all understand that any legal matter, especially those revolving around family law can be stressful and upsetting. That is why we only take on a limited number of cases, to give each client the care and attention they deserve. We welcome you to give us a call if any of the aforementioned legal problems arise. If it's outside the scope of our practice, we are more than happy to refer you to lawyers who practice in that area.
