Get the Answers You Need

  • How long will my case take?

    Answer:

    The length of a family law case depends on a number of factors. If the parties cannot come to an agreement and the case must be taken to court, your process will take longer. If children or high assets are involved, the process is also more likely to take longer. For example, while the length of a divorce typically takes one year, the process will take longer if the spouses cannot agree on the terms, or if children or high assets are involved.

  • Will I have to take my case to court?

    Answer:

    It is not uncommon for a family law case to need to be taken to court. When you work with our firm, we will try to help you reach an amicable resolution; however, this is not always possible. If you are unable to resolve your case peacefully, we are prepared to represent you in court, where we will ensure your rights are protected.

  • Do I really need an attorney?

    Answer:

    The family law system can be complicated, and these types of processes can be personal and emotional. You need a lawyer who will guide you through the family law system, ensure your process goes as smoothly as possible, and help you reach a solution that is tailored to meet you and your family’s unique needs.
