Divorce and Family Law |
|
 |
Family law usually involves complex issues and highly emotional matters. The equitable distribution of family resources requires the consideration of multiple factors, including valuation of assets and debts, retirement plans, college costs and potential tax consequences. But property division during the dissolution of a marriage is often emotionally charged as well. In addition, matters such as child custody, visitation rights, and prenuptial or postnuptial agreements must be handled both fairly and sensitively.

| Requesting a Consultation |
Preliminary telephone consultation: No charge (up to 20 minutes).
Family law disputes vary widely in complexity and depend heavily on each client’s specific situation and objectives. This initial information exchange allows the client to explain the key facts and ask some general questions. In turn, we provide a preliminary assessment of the case, the broad legal principles involved, and various courses of action that may be available to the client.
Office conference: $200 (up to 1 hour)
After providing more detailed information about the issues and factual background of the case, the client can expect a focused assessment of the problem, a discussion of the various strategies available, along with their advantages and disadvantages, and an estimate of the anticipated cost. If the client decides to retain the firm, this meeting is followed by the execution of a written fee agreement and formulation of a plan of action.
Please do not send details of your case by email. We cannot review any details of your case until we have verified that the firm has no conflicts of interest (for example, we cannot discuss your case with you if we represent an adverse party). |
