Orange County Divorce Attorney

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.

That is why one of the most important steps you will make in the face of your divorce is to consult with an attorney. An Orange County divorce lawyer can offer you guidance based upon legal knowledge and an objective point of view that can help you make the right choices from the very beginning. Having an attorney by your side during the entire process can also help ensure the full protection of your legal rights and your financial interests.

Certified Family Law Specialist

I am one of the few divorce attorneys in California that has been certified by the board of legal specialization. My legal practice is devoted exclusively to divorce and family law matters and focuses primarily on Orange County cases. Divorce can be a very complicated matter depending on the involvement of child custody disputes, real property, and business holdings. With these vital matters at hand, it is important to trust your situation with the most experienced, focused divorce lawyer available. You can be assured that your spouse will hire the best he or she can find and you must be certain to do the same.

For the past 13 years, I have dedicated my practice to nothing but the matters involved in family law disputes. Whether a couple is contemplating a trial separation or they have decided to file for divorce I can help them legally handle the matters at hand. Some cases might call for a level headed mediator who can negotiate terms of agreement between two feuding individuals, while another case may need help issuing a restraining order. Rest assured that whatever the issue is, there is professional help and legal support available at my firm. I have successfully represented cases throughout Newport Beach and Anaheim, employing the most up-to-date legal tactics that it takes to professionally represent divorce and family law cases. I can confidently call myself a specialist in the field of family law as I am among the select attorneys who have achieved certification by the state bar in my field of practice.

How an Orange County Divorce Lawyer 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, we 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. Taking this approach may not only save you a significant amount of money and time but also may help you work through a less stressful divorce by avoiding adversarial courtroom proceedings.

Family Law & Divorce Cases We Handle

Divorce and the dissolution process can be very complicated depending on factors involving assets, property, and of course, the custody and visitation of children. I handle all aspects of family law and divorce related matters throughout Orange County, including child custody, child support, collaborative divorce, separation, post-judgement modification, domestic violence, restraining orders and spousal support. I can talk to you about your unique case to determine whether an amicable divorce will be possible or if we may need to resort to a court case to protect your interests and future.

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 who has the specific training and experience to make the most of a difference in your case.

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.
