How We Work
Our Family Law Process Produces Results
1. Getting Started
Before scheduling a consultation, we like to get to know our clients first. When you contact us, you will speak directly with an attorney. We will discuss the background of your matter and help you understand the legal process. During this call we will determine how we can help you.
2. Initial Consultation
You will meet with one of our attorneys to discuss the details of your matter and to review your legal options. Once you understand your options, we will discuss your next steps and you decide if you want us to help you. The initial consultation is a low pressure meeting to provide you the information you need to make the best decision for you.
3. Game Plan
After you decide you want our help, we will create a detailed game plan outlining our strategy, next steps, and your goals. You will review the plan, make any adjustments or changes, and once you approve, we will get to work for you. We will continue to provide you updates and adjust the game plan as needed.

5. Resolution
When you are in the middle of it, you may feel like it will ever end. But rest assured, the issues will be resolved. The resolution can come in the form of agreements or through a court order. That will depend on you and the opposing party. We typically recommend resolving your issues through settlement, because it allows you to dictate the terms and avoid leaving the final decisions in the hands of the judge.
