Our Practice

We handle a wide range of family law matters, including:

• Adoption: We work with individuals and couples, including stepparents and grandparents, in open and closed adoption proceedings. We help you complete and file all the necessary documents to initiate the adoption process and act as your advocate in all hearings and proceedings until the adoption is final.
    
• Child custody: We help you establish and implement custody and visitation plans that promote the best interests of your minor children and protect your rights as parents. We work with married couples and domestic partners who have minor children.
    
• Domestic violence: We represent either party in a domestic violence action, helping you obtain or defend against a restraining order. We handle cases involving allegations of physical and emotional abuse, sexual abuse, stalking and coercion, whether the alleged victims are adults or children.

Though we have extensive trial experience, we encourage our clients to consider mediation and collaborative law as alternative means of dispute resolution in family law matters.
