Effectively handling family law concerns takes a precise combination of assertiveness, empathy, and tact.

This is why it is important to work with an attorney who has the legal experience necessary to bring a compelling claim as well as the compassion to handle the situation appropriately.

As a general rule, I typically try to avoid litigation and solve family law concerns outside of the courtroom. This reduces the stress on both parties.
