Practice areas

Family law in this state. Nothing outside that lane.

Family law and the adjacent matters that tie into the family file. We don’t go outside that scope. The depth of work in the three areas below is the reason we don’t.

The three practice areas

Three areas. One firm.

Practice / 01

Divorce

Contested and uncontested. Most files settle before trial. We’ve taken 28 to verdict since 2018, and prepared for 70 more that settled inside a week of the trial date.

240 matters · 28 trials

Practice / 02

Custody & parenting plans

Initial custody filings and modifications. We’ve handled 110 custody matters and we’ve kept 102 of them from going to a contested hearing.

110 matters · 8 hearings

Practice / 03

Estate planning

Wills, durable powers of attorney, healthcare directives, and revocable living trusts. Mostly families with school-age children getting their guardianship and titling in writing.

Wooden library shelves filled with bound books in warm daylight.

Depth, not breadth

Three areas. The depth a single-area practice gets.

240 divorces, 110 custody matters, 38 estate files. The reading on each statute, each evidentiary track, each common pitfall is closer to a single-area boutique’s than to a general-practice firm’s. That’s the trade we made when we narrowed the lane in 2018.

Detail pages for each area.

Divorce / Detail Contested & uncontested divorce Procedural map, cost ranges, and what we cover at the consult. Most files resolve between $4,000 and $8,000 of attorney time; contested files with substantial assets run $15,000 to $35,000. Custody / Detail Initial filings & modifications The statutory factors that decide every custody case, the higher bar for modifications, and how we draft parenting plans tight enough not to re-negotiate every Thanksgiving. Estate / Detail Wills, POAs, and trusts The basic package most families with school-age children need: simple will, durable POA, healthcare directive, HIPAA release. Trust packages when the asset structure warrants one. Results / Detail Anonymized recent matters Three closed files with the facts, the outcome, and the total attorney time spent. Anonymized only to the level the bar’s confidentiality rules require.
