If you need a Family Law attorney --

You should find an attorney who is dedicated to resolving the matter advantageously to you without protracted litigation, while also able to vehemently advocate your rights in a court proceeding.

Your attorney should be knowledgeable and experienced so as to accurately answer your questions in such diverse areas of Family Law as maintenance (also known as spousal support); child custody, visitation and support; equitable distribution; possession and title to the marital home and furnishings; distributive awards; pension benefits; life and health insurance; tax consequences, and reimbursement of counsel and expert fees and expenses. At the same time, your lawyer must be able to deal with the emotions which arise from a Family Law dispute without allowing those emotions to get in the way of a successful and efficient resolution of the matter.
