Custody litigation is emotionally difficult and distressing to all concerned. While we encourage exhausting all possibilities for settlement for the benefit of the children, it is not always possible and we are experienced in taking such cases to trial. We have handled complex and difficult custody cases and always seek to ensure the full protection for the children in the process. We pride ourselves in our case preparation for trial and for every aspect of the case, including each time a case appears in Court. No appearance is ever inconsequential and it is essential to be prepared.

In all cases, strategic planning is our benchmark, as is our preparation. As a client you will be involved in every aspect of your case, decisions shall be made only with your participation and approval and you will be informed, advised of and prepared for each step taken. We strive to present your case with complete professionalism to gain and maintain the respect of the Court.
