  • Should I represent myself in court?

We dedicate ourselves to informing you about the specifics of your case, assessing the advantages and disadvantages of various choices, and assisting you in navigating the legal process to achieve the most favorable outcome. Reach out to us today to arrange a complimentary initial consultation. Let's discuss your situation and explore the most advantageous strategies to assist you.

  • I'm ready to file for divorce. What next?

    To start, it's essential to collect duplicates of financial and pertinent documents (such as birth certificates, passports, receipts for significant purchases, vehicle titles, etc.) This step enables us to establish a comprehensive overview of marital assets and any disputed matters.


    Next, arrange your initial consultation with our office. Ensure that you use contact information accessible only to you to maintain confidentiality in our communications. Since divorce can stem from various causes, we'll need to review your case thoroughly to identify all relevant issues for the divorce filings.


    Following this, we'll proceed with the client engagement process and the initial retainer payment. Once our firm is retained, we'll assess the documents you've provided to determine the contents of the marital estate and any additional information required. Having these documents ready for our office will expedite the process and set your case on the right track from the outset.


    Our firm offers a range of options for retainer payment, including assistance from a third-party lender.


    By devising a plan of action for your divorce and understanding what to anticipate, you can alleviate stress and bolster your case's strength, ultimately achieving the best possible outcome for you and your family.

  • I've just been served. What now?

    If you've been served, review all the paperwork and scan it into a computer so you always have copies. Then, reach out to an attorney to help you understand your rights and how to protect yourself. You have 30 days to respond to a complaint once it's been served. Call us today to schedule a consultation right away! And be present at the initial hearing, during which many rules and rulings will be set. After that, we enter discovery and mediation.
