Why Having a Family Law Attorney Looking Out For You Is a Good Idea

There are a lot of ways to get divorced. There are low-conflict solutions that aim to be as efficient as possible, and there are very high-conflict divorces that can create tens of thousands of dollars worth of legal fees. While each divorce is as unique as the individuals involved, my experience in family law has taught me that striving for balance is an approach that fits most situations. I understand that this can be a very emotionally charged process but my goal is to help you work towards separating the emotion from the financial and legal aspects of your divorce.

Child Custody - Why It’s Important That We Strive to Be Reasonable

Except for in very extreme circumstances where there is serious chemical dependency or a history of violent behavior we are very likely going to be arranging a shared custody situation. The standard in Pennsylvania family law is the best interest of the children.  Unnecessary conflict is not in the best interest of the child – or the best interest of the parents either!  I encourage my clients with minor children to put their feelings for their soon-to-be ex-spouse aside and work to help their children through this transition.  My goal is to assist you in getting through this difficult period and to have a more calm and peaceful future.  To read more about my approach to child custody cases, click here.

Fathers’ Rights - An Experienced Attorney on Your Side

While I represent both men and women, I have an excellent track record of obtaining great results for dads who are facing a divorce. We do not operate under the presumption that children should live with their moms and see their dads on weekends. We aim to take a fair and balanced look at both parents’ situations and build a plan that works for everyone. To read more about father’s rights and dads getting divorced, click here.
