We specialize in family law (divorce, custody, spousal support) and criminal defense (DWI, assault, drug charges) with additional expertise in military family law matters.
How does collaborative divorce differ from traditional divorce proceedings?
Collaborative divorce uses team-based negotiations outside court to create mutually beneficial agreements, while traditional divorce may involve litigation and adversarial courtroom battles over custody, property, and support.
Can you help with child custody cases involving military deployment?
Yes, we specialize in military family law, addressing unique challenges like custody adjustments during deployments and relocation issues under the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction Act.
What should I do immediately after being charged with a DWI?
Contact us immediately. We'll review your case, ensure proper arrest procedures, challenge evidence when appropriate, and work to minimize penalties like license suspension or fines.
Do you offer consultations for new clients?
Yes, we offer initial consultations to discuss your case details, legal options, and strategy. Please complete our client information form before your appointment.
How do mediation services benefit family law cases?
Mediation reduces conflict and costs by facilitating negotiated settlements for divorce terms, custody arrangements, and property division without courtroom litigation.
