CHILD CUSTODY

You can never get back time lost with your children. Temporary court orders can be difficult to change, no matter what anyone tells you.  Having an experienced advocate from the beginning can make all the difference.

JUVENILE LAW

Juvenile Law is often foreign to even the most experienced family lawyers. Having represented thousands of families in Juvenile Court over three decades, rest assured that we are well-prepared to assist you.

GUARDIANSHIP/ ADOPTION

Most people think that guardianship and adoption are just for children. However, adults can often be in need of guardianship and/or adoption.  We offer representation for children and adults in need of guardianship, as well as others involved in the guardianship and/or adoption process.

WILLS/PROBATE OF WILLS

Don’t leave your affairs to chance after your death. Creating a will is a thoughtful act to support your loved ones after you are gone.  Creation of a will takes an experienced hand. Attempting to make a will yourself can result in a mess later on, when it is too late to fix.  We can bring you peace of mind that your wishes will be honored.
