                                Everyone in society deserves  fairness.                                                                            Fairness may mean an aggressive trial or a fair sentence.                                              Fairness is the hallmark of American justice.

The question people ask themselves in domestic cases: 

"Do I need an experienced trial lawyer, after all I hope that my case will be uncontested."        But what if the case becomes contested?  Its better to have a hammer and not need one than to need a hammer and not have one. (a quote from either Confucius or my brother).

Family Law includes: divorce, modifications, child custody, child support, paternity non-support payment matters.
