Your Advocate. Your Advisor. Your Guide.
Litigation is the process by which a matter is brought into a formal court setting where the outcome is often determined by a judicial officer, such as a judge or commissioner. Each party is usually represented by an attorney and most issues are brought before the Court through motions and court trials.
Mediation is a process in which the parties can resolve family law disputes with the help of an expert (a mediator) in a confidential setting. This includes matters regarding the dissolution of a marriage, child custody, child support, spousal support, paternity issues, property issues, and other family matters.

Our Practice Areas
Divorce
Litigation, Mediation, Consulting, and Limited Scope - we will walk through the various options for your case.
Limited Scope Representation
We will provide legal services for specific issues in your case while you handle the other aspects.
No-Court Divorce
Many divorces can be settled and completed without ever going to court.
Child Support
If you have children with your soon-to-be ex-spouse, then someone is going to be paying child support.
Custody and Visitation
It is the policy of the courts in California to make orders regarding custody and visitation that are in the “best interests” of the child.
Spousal Support
Spousal support is meant to provide financial security to the lesser-earning spouse both during and after a divorce.
Move-Aways
Sometimes one parent wants to move away with his/her child or children. If that happens, courts are required to conduct an in-depth analysis.
Property Division
California is a community property state, which means that all property obtained during marriage is presumed to be owned 50/50 by each spouse.
