California

Family law concerns can range from divorce, to child custody issues, to dissolution of domestic partnerships and paternity. But there is one thing they all have in common — they must be handled with sensitivity and care. Chances are you are going to have to live with the outcome of your case for a long time, so it makes sense to seek out legal advice from someone that can ensure your rights are observed and your children's needs are met.
I pay close attention to my clients' needs and concerns. I work to achieve outcomes that enable my clients to regroup and reorganize their lives, and ensure that their rights and interests are protected.

Focusing on Family Law in Los Angeles

I focus on the area of family law, including divorce and related matters such as child custody, child support, paternity, spousal support and property division. I also represent clients in matters involving guardianship and dissolution of domestic partnerships.

I'd Like To Make a Difference in Your Life

I will take time to learn about you, your family, and your goals. When taking your case, I want to learn what you hope to accomplish and what your family needs in order to get back on track. I will then develop a detailed case management plan designed to achieve realistic goals for you and your family.
Throughout the legal process, I will keep you informed and provide you with the information you need to make critical decisions about your case. Whether it involves a divorce, spousal support, a guardianship or other matter, I will work to achieve your goals as quickly and efficiently as possible.

Are You Concerned About Child Support?

In California, child support is either set by agreement by the two parents or by a judge if an agreement cannot be reached. Setting an amount by agreement and presenting it to the court has its advantages, as long as both parties have taken every factor into consideration.
I highly recommend that before you agree to a support amount that you contact a qualified attorney to determine what child support you should pay or receive based on court guidelines. I’ll put your information into a support calculator that incorporates all of the standards that have been set in California. That will provide a guideline amount which you can use to make the right decision.

I represent clients throughout Los Angeles County, including Glendale, Burbank, Pasadena, L.A., West Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Arcadia, Alhambra and communities throughout the Los Angeles metro area.
