Family Law

Let’s face it, if you have recently experienced loss, separation or other changes in personal circumstances, the last thing you want to be thinking about is whether everything is in order legally and administratively for a smooth transition to an altered way of life. You also certainly don’t want overly aggressive lawyers or financial administrators inflaming already emotional circumstances and increasing costs. Forward planning is critical.
