Divorce and Separation 25%

Whether you're going through a divorce or are just looking at a temporary separation, you're dealing with an understandably complicated and emotional time for everyone involved. Legal counsel during this time can help you remove emotion from the equation, coming to the most fair and favorable conclusion for all parties in terms of things like property settlements, alimony and more. Hiring a legal professional can help guarantee that the rights of everyone involved are protected at all times.

25%
Family 25%

A wide range of different legal services fall under the larger umbrella of "Family Law." These can include but are certainly not limited to situations involving marriages, civil unions or domestic partnerships, assistance going through the process of adoption or surrogacy, complicated issues like paternity testing and more.

25%
Marriage and Prenuptials 20%

Nobody wants to think about what might happen if their marriage doesn't work out - yet at the same time, life has a bit of not going exactly as you plan it. A prenuptial agreement is one of the best ways to come to an amicable decision about what happens with regards to a couple's respective assets should their impending marriage ultimately fail.

20%
Child Custody 15%

Once divorce or separation proceedings have begun, the number one concern of everyone involved is and should always be the health and well-being of their children. Obtaining the help of a legal professional during this time can remove all guesswork from the equation, guaranteeing beyond the shadow of a doubt that custody is decided in a way that will protect the child in question at all costs. Child custody is about a lot more than just making sure a young person has a safe place to live.

15%
Child Support 15%

When two people are going through a divorce, it's an understandably upsetting time for everyone involved but particularly so for children. Enlisting the help of a legal professional during this time can help significantly streamline the child support process. This will help guarantee that regardless of which parent has custody, any children involved will be financially looked after and taken care of on an ongoing basis - which is ultimately the most important consideration of all.

Consultation

She took extreme care with my consultation and even got on the phone with my other attorney to fully understand the situation. She's tenacious and genuinely compelled to help. I can't imagine having her as opposing counsel. You want her on your side.

A Great Lawyer When You're Under Duress -

I was referred to Mr. Lavinsky by a trusted friend for a family law matter. Ms. Lavinsky was factual, went out of her way to be helpful and available, and was prompt in attempting to bring the unpleasant situation to a halt. She was extremely goodhearted. I recommend her highly.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
