I came to the family law arena reluctantly. When I left law school 22 years ago, I swore I would never, ever, ever, ever do another dissolution. Here, I am years later in a practice that deals with familys in every possible way. In many ways, I am the only lawyer a person will have contact with in their lives. I divorce them, do their pre-nuptial agreements, their annulments, their adoptions, their wills, thier probates.
At times it is a hard relationship. I end up knowing more about people then anyone but then after lots of hard work together, I am satisfied in knowing I did the best I could to help them along to a new phase of life.
I feel it is important to take the long view. Clients spend maybe a couple of years with their attorney but will be parents of the children forever. It is important to handle matters in such a way as to protect the relationship so the children don't end up the real victims.

I used Ms. Lanham to help me through a very difficult divorce. I sufered a brain aneurysm in 2003, and as I result of my brain injury, I can not transfer memories from short term to long term memory. I tried two other attorneys before I found Sally. She was very responsive, knowledgeable and did n...
