Custody/ Child Support
I approached Atkinson & Kelsey, PA, Divorce & Family Law specifically for Attorney, Virginia Dugan. I was grateful she took my case and was forthright, honest, and gave me realistic expectations. She was available to answer my questions almost immediately. The result was being able to move forward in...
"I highly recommend and endorse Virginia. She is an expert in all areas of divorce - complex assets, custody and child support. She can litigate a case or be equally effective in a mediation or a collaborative divorce case. Virginia is highly knowledgeable and advocates for her clients while maintaining perspective. I give her my highest recommendation and endorsement."
"I have had the good fortune of both working with Ms. Dugan at Atkinson & Kelsey PA and as an opposing counsel in many divorce cases. Virginia works tirelessly for her clients, but is also an effective negotiator in the settlement arena. She is well-respected by the family law bar in New Mexico."
