1. We make effective communication with our clients a top priority.

  2. We keep lines of communication open by sending our clients a copy of all documents and by offering unlimited phone calls or meetings any time. Evening, out of office, and house call appointments are available. We return phone calls promptly.

  1. We try to avoid going to court.

  2. We believe that the best choice is for the parties to reach a comprehensive agreement through full disclosure of the issues and a carefully crafted settlement document. This is difficult to achieve if there is a "run to the courthouse" attitude. We agree with the following quote: I'm the domestic relations judge for my court. I want you to know that other judges who do this sort of work agree with me that the worst way to resolve any dispute that parents have about custody or visitation with their children is our adversary courtroom system. That system tends to focus on what is bad about each parent, or contended to be bad about each parent, and what we're concerned about is what is in the best interest of the child, and what the parents can do to themselves reach agreement as the their dispute, as we know that is clearly best for the children.

    However, we are experienced, successful litigators and litigate when necessary.
