California Family Law Attorneys for When Results Matter Most

We Are Glad You Found Us.

Everything starts with the initial strategy session.

This is not a sales meeting. It is an expert family law attorney learning the facts about your situation, answering your questions, and detailing the strategy we recommend. Many men and women are surprised how little they understand about the process ahead and learn why our strategy sessions are incredibly informative and a game-changer.

You will end this session fully informed about the family law process, what you should reasonably expect and how to make smart choices along the way.

You probably heard the expression, "if you go cheap, you get cheap." Does that mean you have to go broke for great family law representation? Heck no.

There are two things you have to know about attorney's fees and costs. First, there is no way to predict your total fees and costs at an hourly rate. Second, the only people who "control" the dollar amount of family law attorney's fees and costs are you and the other party.

What we do is (a) give you a quote for the initial retainer deposit and hourly rates, (b) explain what you can do to keep your fees and costs to a reasonable amount, and (c) explain how to combat the other party's conduct that may increase your fees. You will be informed and make smart choices about the attorney's fees and costs ahead.

You and us set the strategy. We know the road ahead. What happens next? We execute the plan.

In a divorce, we help you complete your financial disclosures, ensure we receive complete disclosures from your spouse, and initiate the "discovery" process to get information, testimony and documents you do not have and need. We help you make reasonable settlement offers and get some or all of your case settled, or get it to a hearing and trial for the judge to make the decisions. Parentage cases for unmarried parents are similar, but simpler. Post judgment modification proceedings remain laser-focused on the issues and aggressively move them toward a resolution or hearing.

This execution of the strategy is where you see what a positive difference diligent and quality representation can make for you.
