Palm Springs Family Law and Divorce


You Need a Compassionate and Experienced Family Law Attorney

If you are considering a California divorce, are separated from your spouse or domestic partner, or if you find yourself engaged a dispute involving child or spousal support, custody of children and move-away requests, paternity, grandparent rights, modification of orders, dividing property and debts, or need domestic violence or other restraining orders, we want to assist you.

The experience of divorce is one of the most difficult and traumatic of crises to cope with.  With U.S. Census Bureau estimates that 50% of first marriages and 62% of second marriages in this country end in divorce, it is also one of the most common.  Feelings of fear, helplessness, confusion, anxiety and exhaustion are normal.  The failure to skillfully manage these feelings and to apply a solution's focused approach to resolving legal disputes may impede a person's well-being and their functioning now and in the future. 

Rancho Mirage Divorce We can guide you through your family law conflicts in a sensitive and holistic fashion.  We approach our clients' matters with candor, realistic evaluations and honest expectations.  Our strategies and problem solving advice is balanced, humanistic and efficient.  Because those needing the assistance of family lawyers are good people facing the worst of circumstances, we do not pander to the emotional reactivity that arises along with these experiences. 

We offer you a unique and powerful ally to help you in this transition.  Whether negotiating a divorce settlement or conducting litigation, we explain the terrain to you, we inform your choices, and we ground the process.  Our intention is to resolve your matter with a tone that leaves room for you to one day dance with your former partner at a child's wedding.   

We know this is your hope as well
