Every Family's Needs Are Different
When Your Family Needs A Lawyer
I understand that family law issues can be overwhelming and emotionally taxing, which is why I try to approach each case with care. My goal is to help my clients make informed decisions about the outcome of their case and regarding their choice of processes - mediation, lawyer-led negotiation, Collaborative Law, or Courtroom advocacy - so that my clients may achieve a fair and equitable resolution while minimizing conflict, stress, and costs.
I believe that it is often best to meet your goals with the least amount of Court involvement, which tends to be significantly more adversarial and expensive. At the same time, I recognize that a number of cases require different degrees of judicial intervention, and am an experienced advocate in the Court setting. I also care deeply about children and specialize in child custody matters, including high conflict custody cases.
Representation In All Facets Of Divorce And Family Law Matters:
Divorce (Dissolution of Marriage)
This is the legal process of ending a marriage. It involves issues such as property division, spousal support (alimony), child custody, and child support.
Child Custody and Visitation
Cases involving the legal and physical custody of children, as well as visitation rights for non-custodial parents or other relatives.
Child Support
Cases where one parent seeks financial support from the other parent to help cover the costs of raising their child.
Spousal Support (Alimony)
Cases where one spouse seeks financial support from the other spouse following a divorce or legal separation.
Domestic Violence Restraining Orders
Cases where individuals seek court orders to protect themselves and their children from domestic violence or abuse.
Paternity
Cases to establish the legal father-child relationship, often involving issues of child custody, visitation, and child support.
Asset Division
Legal disputes over asset division in California frequently involve matters such as what asset should be treated as community property verses separate property, racing separate property claims, valuation of properties (such as real estate and businesses), apportionment of equity compensation, and allocation of retirement accounts.
Prenuptial Agreements /Postnuptial Agreements.
Cases concerning prenuptial agreements and postnuptial agreements in California often revolve around issues of asset protection, division of property, and spousal support arrangements.
When you first meet with me, I will help you identify your immediate needs and we will devise a plan for addressing them, as well as a broader plan for completing your divorce. A critical component of your case and our planning will be to determine what process best suits your needs and unique circumstances.
I represent clients in court, in mediation, and in negotiation. In addition, as a member of the Collaborative Practice of the East Bay, I offer services as a Collaborative Attorney. To learn more about the Collaborative Law process, please follow this link: https://collaborativepracticeeastbay.com/
