Family Law

Relationships among friends, casual acquaintances and associates in the workplace play inter-related roles in our lives. Yet, no other relationships have the significance of those with our families, which literally shape not only the present, but also the future.
Subject to a wide range of internal and outside forces, the dynamics of all families may change subtly or radically, whether it involves marriage, divorce, domestic violence, questions of paternity or even the birth of a child or adoption.
An experienced family law attorney can provide trusted advice and guidance to both men and women when divorce threatens to shatter the foundations of your family, when domestic violence endangers you and your children when a juvenile is at risk or when you need help to protect your rights concerning a full range of domestic conflicts or family related issues.
