Family Law
When you need a family law attorney, we are here for you. We help clients successfully address the legal issues that affect them most personally.
Family matters, which can be legally complex, are deeply personal and often emotionally charged. To make sound decisions about issues that can have lifelong ramifications, you need the support and understanding of expert counsel and, if necessary, aggressive representation.
Competent, Compassionate Representation
We offer our clients astute legal advice in a compassionate, caring and professional manner that enables them to resolve difficult issues and move on with their lives. We provide experienced representation in:
- Guardianship/adoption
- Alimony and spousal support
- Child support
- Divorce
- Paternity
- Child custody, visitation and support
- Parental kidnapping
- Legal separation
- Prenuptial agreements
- Domestic violence
- Child abuse and protection
- Restraining orders
- Temporary protection orders
- Post judgment modifications
- Judgment enforcement
- Property issues
Often a family legal situation does not end with an agreement or court order; as families grow and change, adjustments may need to be made to accommodate those changes. Therefore, our representation does not end at the negotiating table or in court. We stand beside you throughout the legal process.
A Trusted Advisor
In fact, our interest goes beyond the legal issues you may be facing today. Our history of cultivating lifelong – sometimes, multi-generational – relationships with our clients reflects our commitment to earning your trust. You can rely on us to provide wise legal counsel in all family matters over the long term.

DWI/DUI
From the moment you are charged with Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) or Driving Under the Influence (DUI), time is of the essence. Many states give as few as 10 days to request an administrative hearing. What you do now is critical to limit the long-lasting damage your arrest may inflict on your life.
DWI/DUI – A Legal Minefield
Addressing an impaired driver charge can be like taking a walk through a legal minefield – you need expert counsel versed in the intricacies of the law to successfully negotiate it. If you are convicted for a DWI /DUI offense, you may have to pay the following consequences:
- Loss of license
- Payment of a large fine
- Installation of an IID (ignition interlock device)
- Designation as a habitual offender
- Mandatory jail sentence
- Completion of an impaired driver intervention program
- Counseling with a licensed substance abuse counselor
- Lengthy steps to get a restricted license back
- Raised insurance costs
- Court costs
- Hours of community service
- Felony conviction on your record
Legal Representation for DWI/DUI
With such severe consequences at stake, you will want to get the assistance of an experienced DWI/DUI lawyer. We can help you understand your options, negotiate a plea bargain, or represent you at trial.
The DWI/DUI Expertise You Need
DWI or DUI may seem to be a simple charge but there are many variables involved, including penalties from both the motor vehicle administration and legal system. You may not be aware of the potential defenses for your case. We can help determine:
- If the police stopped your car legally.
- If they administered the sobriety tests correctly
- If they had sufficient evidence to arrest you
- If they advised you of your rights before you submitted to any testing
- If the test machines – and the officers who applied them – were certified
We can arrange for expert witnesses in areas such as toxicology or fields that explain how other physical limitations or disabilities may have affected your performance during a field sobriety test.
Act Now to Preserve Your Rights
Remember, if you do not schedule an administrative hearing within the state's time limit, then your driver's license will be suspended for the maximum time allowed by law, and other serious penalties may occur.
If you've been charged with an "impaired driver" offense – from first offense DWI or DUI to subsequent offense to Aggravated DWI/DUI and Negligent Homicide – let us put our experience and expertise to work for you. To begin your defense, contact our firm now.

Personal Injury
