About Us

Court proceedings are foreign to most people and can be intimidating. Your attorney should explain your options and the legal procedures in a clear and understandable manner to ensure that you are comfortable during this difficult and emotional process. Your attorney must carefully evaluate the facts, circumstances, and applicable law of your case. Many lives are affected by the outcome of a divorce, adoption, paternity suit or other legal suit. In law, as with most things, knowing your options and resources is half the battle. Your attorney should guide you through the process.

Sometimes a case is not likely to be successful, and you have a right to know that before paying a lot of legal bills. When the best choice is to avoid going to court, negotiation or mediation can frequently provide a more cost effective means to settling disputes than litigation. Your attorney should avoid unnecessary court proceedings while protecting your rights, and should let you know when to use comprehensive agreements that can reduce the possibility of future disputes.

Other times, litigation is the best alternative and your attorney should be experienced and aggressive in advocating your position. While litigation is expensive, your attorney should use efficient office practices and qualified legal assistants to keep your expenses down. You should expect to be kept updated on the status of your case. When cases require additional expertise, you should expect your attorney to work with or refer you to a specialist.
