Why Our Law Firm?

Our practice only involves issues of families and children. We do not have a general practice that covers everything; for example, auto accidents, business litigation, medical malpractice are not our business; again, our business is families and children. We  know our subject matter and collectively we have over 40 years of litigation & hearing experience. We know how to present your case and advocate on behalf of your family. We keep our rates lower than most other law firms by managing our overhead and simply having a mission of making legal services more affordable. What also differentiates our law firm is our approach of making the client a "partner" in achieving success, through on-going communciation with the client and educating the client about the process and the law.

Additionally, as children are often at the center of our case issues, we often visit the family and the child at the parent's home to discuss the case; this unique involvement personalizes the case for our legal team.

Remember,  our business is families and your child's success is our success.
