• Adoption
  The termination of parental rights is a very complex and emotionally charged legal matter.

• Child Abuse
  Many of the termination cases we handle involve ensuring the safety of a child. If the custodial parent has a history of child abuse or is a known drug user, we can help you take steps to terminate parental rights based on an unsafe living environment. In addition, if you have remarried and you can demonstrate that the other parent has not been active in your child’s life, i.e., has not communicated with your child in over a year, and you want your new spouse to be able to adopt your child, we can help you through that process as well.

Criminal Law

  If you are faced with family violence, call for immediate help from the police and talk to your lawyer about obtaining a restraining order against the person trying to harm you.

Finance Law

• Bankruptcy
  Divorce can lead to many nondischargeable debts, such as alimony or child support, which bankruptcy can do nothing to change. However, through Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy, it may be possible to stop creditor harassment, reduce or eliminate dischargeable debt, protect your home from foreclosure, handle complex tax matters and get the debt relief that you need to move forward.
