Reliable counsel provides advantages in mediation

Children are best served when parents maintain a cordial relationship. Through the structured process of mediation, couples can often set aside hostility and agree on key decisions affecting their children. Mediation can be a highly-effective tool for parents to preserve their children’s well-being and the stability of their lives during the turbulent process of divorce. Mediation takes some of the stress out of child custody conflicts and puts important child-rearing decisions in the hands of the parents rather than the court. Our attorneys meticulously develop mediation strategies that carefully guide the negotiating process toward healthy resolution.

Skilled litigation in family court

In some cases, litigation is necessary to protect a child’s best interests. When one parent refuses to compromise or expresses hostility toward the other parent, negotiations fail. Sometimes a parent may even pose a danger to the child’s well-being. In these cases, litigation is the most appropriate forum for establishing parental rights. Our firm’s methodical approach to litigation enables you to feel confident that your children are protected and your parental rights are secure.

Testimonials
  • "When I first came to Susan, to help me with my pending divorce, I didn’t know what to expect. I wasn’t anywhere near the expert in this, in fact I was completely lost when I got served the divorce papers. But with the counsel of Susan, I was able to count on her to handle it all for me. After all, I work nearly twelve hours a day and couldn’t possibly tackle this myself. I did have to do my fair share of do’s and don’ts also, don’t get me wrong, but I had Susan in my corner backing me every step of the way."  -- Thank you. Herman Murillo

  • "Susan couldn’t have been more professional nor empathic in my case. I was so scared that my daughters biological father would fool the court into thinking he could actually be anything short of the demise of our beautiful infant. I thank God for leading me to Susan. She stood up for me and helped me secure a future for my daughter that didn’t include the neglect and abuse she would have suffered if allowed to be in her biological father’s care. May God always bless you Susan. "  -– THANK YOU! Bianca Morales
