Orange County Divorce & Family Lawyer

Divorce is one of the most emotionally devastating experiences in life. According to a poll by the AARP, a divorce causes more distress than the loss of a job and is approximately equal in effect to a major illness. The only experiences that cause more emotional trauma are the death of a child and the death of a spouse.

Divorce is also a time when people are at their most vulnerable. Your money, your property, and your relationships with your children could depend on the decisions you make early in the divorce process.

How an Orange County Divorce Attorney Can Help

When considering divorce, it may be a difficult choice to decide whether to work with an attorney in the first place, as well as which of many attorneys in the area may be right for your case. At my firm, my staff and I always strive to take the time to fully understand each client’s unique needs and concerns in order to better address the issue at hand. We can help you understand what to expect in a divorce as well as what actions you can take to better protect your interests.

As an experienced mediator, I can assist you in resolving your case outside of the courtroom, an option which usually works better for all parties involved. A divorce agreement reached out of court often gives both parties more leeway in working out custody, visitation and property distribution agreements, whereas a court case will be decided upon by a judge.

A common mistake many people make is to select a general-practice attorney to handle their divorce. When important matters such as child custody and property division are at stake, you should only be represented by a certified family law attorney.

There are a lot of land mines in the practice of family law. Any small mistake or misstep could lead to huge consequences both in dollars and in child custody. Lawyers who handle divorce cases once in a while, as a part of a general law practice, often lack the knowledge and experience needed to help you navigate a contested divorce.

As a California Certified Family Law attorney, I have been certified by the California state bar as a family law specialist. I am also an experienced divorce mediator who can help you resolve your Orange County divorce quickly and economically if you and your spouse are willing to try a negotiated settlement.
