Services
Having a firm with more than 20 attorneys and a nearly equal amount of support staff, affords us the opportunity to concentrate on each individual client and their specific legal needs in a variety of areas of law. It is our belief that expertise in a specific area of practice is promoted by having our attorneys concentrate in fewer areas of law so that he/she can reach his/her full potential in a given expertise.
This area of law often requires the sensitive guidance of an experienced firm to lead you through the many pitfalls associated with the unique aspects of the Family Court experience, from the submission of the initial petition, to responding papers, to the conducting of hearings.
Albeit that individuals can represent their own interests in Family Court, being represented by an attorney can often ease the confusion and stress related to the Family Court process.Custody is often the most sensitive of Family Law subjects. Two parents at odds over who would better parent their most prized possession; their child(ren).

Two parents at odds over who would better parent their most prized possession; their child(ren).
The terminology has changed to reflect the fact that time spent with a child(ren) should be quality time between a parent and child(ren) to promote the relationship and bond, rather than be deemed just a "visit" by the non-residential parent. Each parent, unless deemed a danger or risk to the safety/well being of a child(ren), has indisputable rights to regular time with his/her child(ren).
However, as in criminal cases, the court does not presume the allegations to be truthful until either admitted by the accused party or after a full hearing on the petition. Until that time, no permanent order of protection can/will be issued. A temporary or permanent order of protection can either be a "no harass/refrain from" or a "stay away".
