WE WILL STRIVE FOR AN AMICABLE RESOLUTION OF YOUR FAMILY LAW MATTER.

If you are viewing this website, you are likely going through a bad time.  Or, someone you care about is suffering.

You will see websites for "aggressive" family law attorneys, even though the California Legislature and Courts have created laws to minimize conflict in family law cases.  In fact, there is a family law code section which imposes sanctions on attorneys and litigants who engage in conduct that frustrates the policy of the law to promote settlement of litigation where possible.  This policy was created to reduce the cost of litigation by  encouraging cooperation between the parties and attorneys.  California Family Code Section 271.

No matter what your family law issue may be, we will guide you through the process with focus and wisdom to keep the costs down, and spare you and your family unnecessary heartache.  If it is necessary to litigate your case, we will put your issues before the Court in a professional and expeditious manner -- without the drama.

If all you need is assistance in preparing the required legal documents, California Family Law Options, LLC, provides the forms and guidance in completing them without representation by an attorney.  It is a low cost alternative for people who cannot afford representation, but want help with their forms.
