* Family law: Covering the full range of family legal issues from adoption to divorce and all areas in between.

We identify common ground, taking steps to ensure you and your client develop terms agreeable to everyone involved.

* Child custody and visitation: Custody battles can be difficult for both parents and children. We can help with the original custody order as well as enforcement, contempt, and modifications.

* Child support: If you need assistance establishing support or modifying a current support order, you need an attorney who knows California child support law.

* Community property: Keeping your individual property separate in a divorce can be complicated. We are well versed in California community property tracing issues.
