Bakersfield Family Law Attorneys
Your Family Law Attorney
We recognize that family law matters often involve intense emotions. Accordingly, we endeavor to minimize conflicts in family law cases with professional conduct and an aggressive, yet considerate, courtroom posture. We encourage and assist in setting appropriate but firm boundaries when dealing with the other party in a family law dispute. We assist our clients in staying focused on practical priorities and objectives.
If children are involved in a particular family law matter, we assist our clients in realizing the impact that divorce and conflicting parental views has on their children. We believe in structuring effective custodial arrangements that meet the best interest of the children and recommend, when possible, co-parenting arrangements.
In all legal matters, we are mindful of the need to be cost effective and to minimize the use of expensive legal processes. Accordingly, we maintain close communication with clients concerning legal expenses and endeavor to provide projected cost and benefit analyses and alternative options.
