We are passionate about litigation that seeks to promote and protect the best interests of children, advocating fiercely for our clients with this goal. We try to take an honest approach with our clients, letting them know the risks and uncertainties of our system as well as the costs, energy and time that goes into contested litigation. After 27 years in family court, we have learned that the best resolution is the one that families craft for themselves; the agreements they reach. In a trial, our judges will listen carefully and do their best to create a ruling that serves your family and we have some great judges. But, families are best served by the resolutions reached outside of court, by agreement and compromise, so trying to settle your case is always in the forefront of our efforts.

Overall, we love getting kids settled where they will be the most loved, most safe and most cared for, whether that means fighting for custody between parents, grandparents or other third parties or seeking the permanence of adoption for babies, children, teenagers or even adults. It is a privilege to work with our clients in these efforts.
