We assess your immediate safety and develop a plan. This includes identifying safe housing, securing important documents, and protecting your immigration status. Everything is confidential.

Emergency Protective Order
We file for an emergency protective order that can be granted the same day without the abuser being present (ex parte). This provides immediate legal protection while longer-term solutions are put in place.

Within 2-3 weeks, a hearing is held where you present evidence and the abuser can respond. We prepare you thoroughly and present a compelling case for permanent protection.

Client review
“Fifteen-year marriage ended. Two kids, a house, retirement accounts. My lawyer negotiated everything without going to trial. We settled in mediation in three sessions. Kids adjusted better because it wasn't a war in court. Best decision I made was hiring someone who pushed for mediation first.”

Client review
“My fiancée and I both have properties and businesses. Her family wanted a prenup, my family was offended by the idea. Our lawyer explained how it protects both sides and drafted one that was fair and actually made everyone more comfortable. Wish more couples did this.”

Client review
“After my divorce, my ex started missing his weekends with the kids but demanded I change the schedule around his convenience. My lawyer filed a motion to modify the custody order. The judge set a clear schedule with consequences for missed visitation. My kids need consistency and now they have it.”
