Biography
When going through a divorce in Monterey County, it is imperative to have the guidance of a well-trained, family law attorney with significant experience in Monterey County on your side. Experience matters. Ms. Rawlings has been practicing law in Monterey County for more than a decade and has experience with the procedures, judges, opposing counsel, and issues involved in family law matters which is crucial for achieving success in divorce and custody matters.
Evidence and honesty are two of the most important keystones to presenting a winning argument in family court, and Ms. Rawlings understands that concept. She prepares cases in such a way that when presented to the family law court judge, the judge knows our representations to the court are accurate and therefore the likelihood is stronger that our arguments will be seriously considered by the court.
