Whether dealing with divorce or domestic abuse, infidelity, or chronic alcohol or substance abuse, you are probably facing the most challenging time of your life. At the same time, you may feel the least emotionally capable of making important decisions. We listen carefully and are sensitive to your needs, concerns and goals. At the same time, we evaluate and explain your legal situation and help you discover the best way to protect yourself while reaching your goals.
Mediation is a process by which a neutral third party facilitates the resolution of family disputes by assisting the parties in creating their own voluntary agreements. In other words, a mediator helps people settle their differences without going to court. The process is designed to be less adversarial than litigating in court. Mediation is also less costly, both financially and emotionally.
Our criminal defense lawyers are here to protect your rights—whether you are facing a misdemeanor charge or want to fight a violation. A delay could jeopardize your rights, so it is important that you seek legal assistance immediately. Call today so that we can help minimize the impact of a misdemeanor on your life.
