FAMILY LAW CASES:
Divorce and Family Law Cases:
A Divorce or Family Law Case does not have to be the
nightmare of legend. In fact most cases are really unexciting. They would never
even make it on the Jerry Springer show. These cases are about dividing up pots
and pans, mending a broken heart and moving on to new relationships. Most
of the really terrible cases are that way because of the decisions that
the parties made during their relationship. The good news is that with a few
rare exceptions, it just doesn't have to be that way.
Prejudice Against Fathers Having Custody:
Many fathers feel that there is a bias against men having
Primary Physical Custody in Family Law Cases. While the reality is that
they are somewhat correct, it is not the case in our office. We want to make it
perfectly clear that our office represents both men and women without a bias for
or against either sex.
No Prejudice Against Anyone:
Each case is always evaluated on its own merits. We
tailor our representation to the facts of each case, the law and your
ability to finance the case. We represent each client to the best of our
abilities and without regard for their gender, sexual preference, race,
color, creed, religion or lack of religion, national origin or any other similar
factor. We do not make a distinction if you are gay or straight, male or female,
or use any other artificial criteria.
Since Family Law is such a large
field, I have divided the field up into smaller, more manageable areas of
interest. You may

a no obligation phone call to (626) 797-5001.
Your Rights:
While you do have an absolute right to be represented
by an attorney at all stages of any litigation, it is up to you to secure
and pay for that attorney. Obviously any action that effects your right to,
custody and visitation with your children, child and spousal support, and
division of property, requires the services of an experienced
attorney. Many people who foolishly think that they are capable of handling
their own case, live to regret their decision later on.
Your Responsibilities:
While you can always represent yourself, you should be aware
that even lawyers hire other lawyers to represent them in divorce cases. When
you are emotionally involved in a case you simply don't make the best
decisions. You need an attorney in your corner who is emotionally neutral
and will tell you the truth about your situation. You may not like what
they have to say, but you will have the confidence that they are telling you the
truth. You will know your rights and you can make better decisions affecting
your children's and your future.
Our Capabilities:
We handle all aspects of Family Law and Divorce
litigation from the very simple matters to very complex litigation. In addition,
we have the capability to provide extensive expert litigation support
to any Family Law matter. This capability includes the services of expert
witnesses such as Forensic Accountants, Psychiatrists and Psychologists, Private
Investigators, Counselors, Pension Appraisers and Other Experts as necessary.
We can also provide access to DNA Paternity
testing, Psychological Testing, Child and Spousal Support evaluation, Child
Custody Evaluations, Pension, Real and Personal Property Appraisals,
Investigations and Asset Tracing. Obviously not every case needs these
services, nor can every client afford such service. However, we want our clients
to know if the need arises we can provide those services.
We can provide Ex-parte, Emergency
or Short Notice Court appearances when necessary. Our experience, coupled
with our extensive computerized litigation support library capability,
enables us to initiate or react to almost any emergency or Ex-parte Court
Appearances very quickly. We are not afraid to burn the midnight oil
to make sure that you have an experienced trial lawyer in your corner, who
is prepared to fight
for you the very next morning if it is necessary.
In my office we
will go to whatever lengths that are ethical and legal to protect your rights.
We have a reputation for being as tenacious as bull dogs when we are on a case.
We don't give up until you tell us to. Obviously extraordinary efforts cost
more, but in an appropriate case it can be well worth it. I want you to
know that in these types of unusual cases, we make special efforts to make sure
that you are fully informed about the cost factors before we commence any aspect
of your case. There are no surprises later on, you know from the beginning what
it will cost.
We also utilize the very latest in computer
technology, featuring the very same computer programs used by the local Courts,
which gives you the same information that the Court will use in setting support.
We generate almost all our Family Law forms filed with the Court on computer,
which reduces the errors and time it takes to complete the paperwork. All legal
research is done with the aid of computers. You save both money and time.
Our clients are truly our partners in the preparation of
their cases. We involve them extensively in the investigation, preparation
and presentation of their cases. This means our clients are better informed,
better prepared, and more realistic as to the probable outcome of their cases.
Whenever practical, they also usually save money on their cases by doing some of
the simpler tasks themselves. It give you the best of both worlds, an
experienced attorney and a savings in costs. Call us for a no obligation
initial consultation at (626) 797-5001, you won't be sorry that you did.
