Family Law
Family law and divorce is the largest part of our firm’s practice. Nothing is more important to you than your family. When you work with our firm, we make your family our priority too. The advice and fearless advocacy of an experienced family law attorney are crucial to getting you the best outcome possible and understanding all aspects of your case.
We follow the philosophy that while it’s always preferable to resolve family law matters outside the courtroom, attorneys must always be prepared to aggressively litigate family matters in court with trusted advice and fearless advocacy. Our firm is a dynamic, rapidly growing law practice handling family law cases in five states out of our seven offices, conveniently located near you.
In Virginia, we have three offices handling family law cases in locations such as Loudoun, Fairfax, Prince William, Arlington, Stafford, Frederick, Clarke County, Alexandria, Fredericksburg, Richmond, and Winchester. We also handle Virginia cases in Henrico, Chesterfield, counties surrounding Richmond, and all over Central, Southern, Southwest Virginia, and the Shenandoah Valley as well as Virginia Beach, Norfolk and all of Hampton Roads and the Peninsula.
In the Washington, D.C. metro area, we have offices in Rockville, Maryland handling cases in Montgomery County, Frederick, Prince George’s, Howard, and Anne Arundel counties, as well as in Washington, D.C.
In Delaware, we handle family law cases all over the state from our office in Wilmington.
Similarly, our office in Oklahoma City handles family law cases throughout the state of Oklahoma, including the City of Tulsa and the surrounding area.
Our office in McKinney, Texas handles cases in the Dallas metroplex and outer suburbs and our office in St. Petersburg, Florida handles cases in the Tampa metro area, Pinellas County, Sarasota and Manatee Counties and throughout the gulf coast.
Trusted advice and fearless advocacy
Our team is experienced in all areas of family law. Our firm routinely litigates divorce cases, custody and visitation disputes, and support cases, and we have extensive experience in the complex and diverse issues that arise. From the financial perspective, our attorneys are experienced issues of marital property and protecting spouses’ separate property. We also routinely litigate family law cases involving spouses with small businesses, the division of complex retirement accounts, and pursuing child support and spousal support. We are also equipped to handle custody and visitation issues aggressively and compassionately, whether in divorce or for unmarried couples. We routinely represent clients in all aspects of family law cases involving children and families, and the unique experience of our attorneys make our firm an excellent choice for you.
Our team is equipped to assist you in mental health, substance abuse, child & teen, and school choice & educational issues.
Many family law cases involve mental health issues, children with special needs, and substance abuse. Our firm has developed a unique practice in mental health law and special education law, which substantially assists our clients in family law cases involving these same concerns.
If your marriage or family situation involves mental health or substance abuse issues, we have an attorney who is a former professor of mental health law at a distinguished law school, who formerly served as a judge for hearings to commit mentally ill individuals, and who is affiliated with mental health advocacy groups. If your situation involves disputes or issues related to the education of your children, we have attorneys with experience in school choice issues, special needs education, and dealing with local school boards and school personnel. Moreover, our attorneys are trained and serve as guardians ad litem for children and have extensive experience in most, if not all, legal matters involving children.
