Bloomfield Hills Family Law Attorney

Because of the relationships impacted by legal decisions in this arena, working through a family law case can be emotionally challenging. Working with a compassionate lawyer who gives your case the dedication and attention to detail it needs will make the legal process easier and more productive for you.

Family Law Cases We Handle

Our team works with clients who are working through the following types of cases:

• Child custody;
• Child support;
• Parenting time;
• Domestic violence actions;
• Paternity actions;
• Divorce; and
• Adoptions.

It is not uncommon for an individual to be facing two or more of these case types at once, like working through a divorce while pursuing a personal protection order to protect him or her from an abusive former partner. Our firm is equipped to represent clients who are facing multiple legal proceedings at once.

Why Work with a Family Lawyer?

Although you can work through family court processes like those listed above on your own, it is in your best interest to instead hire a family lawyer to represent your case. There are a few reasons for this, such as:

• Your lawyer has experience negotiating with the court and with other lawyers, which will improve your chance of reaching your legal goals;
• Your lawyer has experience working with the court and knows all the relevant protocols and deadlines that you must follow regarding your case;
• Your lawyer has an extensive professional network he or she can draw upon to seek evidence to support your case, like testimony from a child custody evaluator; and
• Your lawyer is emotionally detached from your case and can thus advise you in a way that remains focused on the “big picture.”

How We Help Michigan Parents Pursue their Legal Goals

We tailor our legal approach to every client’s specific circumstances. When we can resolve issues outside the courtroom through mediation or negotiation, we represent our clients’ rights and interests through these routes. When negotiation is not possible, we are prepared to litigate our clients’ cases and fight for their rights in court. No matter which path we take to pursue our clients’ goals, we always act with their children’s best interests in mind. In family law, the goal is to reach resolutions that serve the involved parties’ needs, rather than to “win” a case.
