When an individual facing a divorce first contacts our office, their primary concern from the onset is usually the matter of child custody. Every good parent worries throughout the divorce process about their child's well-being. But working out child custody doesn't have to be a confusing and traumatizing event.
When it comes to child support, both parents are held responsible for the needs of their children and sometimes it does not seem fair when one is paying all or more than the other. Our Santa Rosa Child Support Attorney will help you through the entire process step by step. Our team is committed to being the best family law firm anywhere and providing cost-effective, premier litigation services.

Carolyn Vandyk is a fraud and an unethical attorney that will take your money and not do a thing for you. She illegally is keeping files she is charging me for. She conspired against me with a MINORS COUNSEL making custodial decisions for my child without my knowledge nor permission, she falsified legal documents by illegally forging and my docusign signature. The list goes on and on. DO NOT TRUST HER I wouldn't reccomend her to anyone. PLEASE BEWARE OF HER UNETHICAL IMMORAL ILLEGAL PRACTICES

Mike Li and staff, especially Bud, were absolutely amazing. I had a very difficult slip and fall case and while I was not at fault, I did not have a witness and it was difficult to prove liability. Mike was very straightforward, knowledgeable and explained things very clearly to the layperson. He informed me of my options and we created a strategy that in the end was a financial success.
Mike also has a compassionate side, and while he gets the job done, he's understanding with emotions people may be going through.
Thank you again Mike and team!

I contacted this office for some logistical/legal help as I ran into some issues while my attorney was unavailable. They were helpful in guiding me to get some immediate solutions for how I should address some challenges during the chaotic week. They even called me BACK after I thought I was done and they provided me with some meaningful facts for my situation. I was extremely grateful -- I offered to pay them a couple bucks or just mail them a gift card. They politely declined.

I got into a motorcycle accident in Sep 2019 and suffered a compound fracture to my tibia and fibula. I needed a personal injury lawyer to take my case. I was not at fault and I was looking for someone who I felt comfortable handling my situation especially with the severity of my injuries. The first lawyer I hired wasn't cutting it and I had to drop him. I heard good things about Mike Li at Krankemann Law Offices from a former motorcyclist that also used him for his accident. Long story short, Mike Li was super informative, on it and broke everything down into a way where I was able to just

Paul has handled two cases for me, once when I was 18 and another recently at the age of 25. In both circumstances he understood that I was, and am, money crunched and explored every opportunity to help me save money while getting the best result possible when it came to the case at hand. In both cases, Paul got the case dismissed. I’m telling you from first hand experience, he wants what’s best for his clients and it truly seemed to me that he has built great relationships with people in the Sonoma County Judicial system. So, if you’re looking for a lawyer that you can trust is looking out

I highly recommend the Law Offices of Mike C Li. Mike Li is professional, understanding, prompt and very responsive. Mike explains all aspects of the case to you and stays in communication with you at all times during the case. He makes sure you understand what is going on and answers any questions you might have. Mike Li is very personable and knows the legal community very well. He is a pleasure to work with.
