Headed by Neil Smith, we’ve represented individuals from every walk of life - blue collar workers, homemakers, students, high net worth executives and professionals - and routinely obtain what our clients consider to be optimal results. This might involve drafting settlement documents in a low cost, non-contested context.

Sometimes, though rarely, we need to take cases to trial.

-
Divorce
Dissolution of Marriage cases are multi-faceted, in that they can involve four central issues: child custody, child support, maintenance, and property and debt division. We handle everything from simple, non-contested divorces to cases that we take to trial.
-
Marital Property
We can help you identify and recover your equitable share of marital property and debt. We can determine whether an asset is marital or separate, recover hidden assets, and negotiate settlements.
-
Child Custody
Your children, their safety, well-being, education, and happiness matter more than every other issue. We work relentlessly to structure parenting plans that serve the best interests of your children, and work to help you maintain a lasting relationship with your children.
-
Modifications
If you experience a substantial and continuing change in circumstances a motion to modify may be appropriate with relation to child custody, child support, or maintenance.
-
Paternity
If you are the father of a child, you can petition the Court for an order of child custody. If you are the mother, you can seek an order for custody. Either party may seek child support.
-
Maintenance
Maintenance is appropriate in a divorce case when one party is unable to support him or herself, and the other spouse is capable of paying support.
