We’re here to help you navigate legal matters that affect your home, your children, your finances, and your future. Our mission is to guide you through life’s difficult transitions, whether you’re facing divorce, custody disputes, adoption, or seeking to address issues of domestic violence.
What Makes Us Different
“When children are involved, a divorce only serves to create a new and different relationship, which divorced parents are often unprepared to deal with.”
This sentiment guides our approach. We don’t just handle your case; we work to understand your family’s story. Our role as your Virginia Beach family law attorney goes beyond filing paperwork and making court appearances. We take a holistic approach, considering the emotional well-being of everyone involved and helping you find the right path toward a stable resolution. This may mean providing referrals to therapists, financial counselors, or substance abuse programs, so you can feel supported both inside and outside the courtroom.
