    Family & Employment Law Case Types

    Divorce

    A divorce is a trying time and provides the legal dissolution of a marriage by a court. It terminates the marital union, cancels legal duties, and resolves critical issues like asset division, child custody, spousal support, and debt allocation.

    Child Custody

    We help clients with Child Custody issues. There has to be a legal determination of parental rights and responsibilities for your child. Courts decide legal custody (decision-making power) and physical custody (where the child lives), and we help represent you and your child's best interest.

    Spousal Support

    Spousal Support is the court-ordered financial payment(s) from one ex-spouse to the other post-separation or divorce. It addresses income disparities, maintains living standards, or provides temporary support during career transitions. We're here to fight for what you deserve.

    Workplace Harassment

    Unwelcome, offensive conduct based on protected traits like race, sex, or age. It becomes unlawful when enduring it is a job condition or it creates a hostile work environment.

    Workplace Discrimination

    Unfair treatment of employees or applicants due to characteristics like race, gender, religion, or disability. It illegally impacts hiring, firing, promotions, pay, and overall job opportunities.

    Wrongful Termination

    The illegal firing of an employee that breaches an employment contract, violates anti-discrimination statutes, or retaliates against whistleblowing, directly breaking federal, state, or public policy laws.
