From the comprehensive discussion during an initial consultation to the resolution of your family law matter, we are available to answer any questions clients may have regarding finances.

Very often clients are seeking an accurate estimate of what their costs will be. Particularly in family law matters, cost is difficult to estimate. This is because of the many variables affecting final resolution of a family law matter. Regardless of whether a case is being mediated or litigated, there are unique circumstances and individual personalities involved. Often the positions of parties may change or the trajectory of the process may alter, based on new information or, simply, human nature. Because of this, anticipating an outcome, and associated cost, can be challenging.
