Rose and Mike have a combined 48 years of experience in family law, handling divorce, paternity, child custody, parenting time, child support, and spousal support and other modifications, as well as estate planning, wills, trusts and probate. EXPERIENCE: In family law, experience DOES make a difference. If you hire either Rose or Mike, you are hiring an attorney with more than twenty years of experience, who has been in a courtroom literally hundreds of times and faced a wide variety of family law issues. If you want to settle your case, experience is just as important when it comes to evaluating and negotiating a result you can live with. COMPASSION: We enjoy being family law attorneys because it gives us an opportunity to genuinely help people at a difficult point in their lives to build a constructive path forward, with an eye to minimizing the collateral damage that can occur from the process. We genuinely care about what happens to our clients and their children. COMMON SENSE: Family legal problems deserve to be handled with an eye on the costs of the process, financial, legal and emotional. Litigation is not the only way, and often not the best way, to resolve a family law problem. Every case requires a serious review to determine if there is a solution short of the court room. There are many ways to settle a divorce or other family law case without putting your life in the hands of a stranger in black robes.
