Family Law Attorney

Caring Legal Representation for Your Divorce Case

When a relationship ends, it can be devastating for one party and exhilarating for the other. Michele understands and can help. Without professional legal guidance, it can be a nightmare trying to figure out how to navigate the court system. But, you don’t have to do this alone! Michele has the legal experience you need to advise you how terms like “allocation of parental responsibilities,” “parenting periods,” “maintenance” and “income shares child support guidelines” apply to your family situation.

Orders of Protection fall in that off place between family law and criminal law. This is a police-enforced “keep away order” that will land you in jail if you violate it. It will help protect you from a violent ex who is creating a situation that you fear will result in actual physical harm. This is a very basic explanation of this legal remedy, but it gives you an example of how important it is to obtain competent legal assistance in utilizing a remedy that you have heard of but remains another elusive legal term.

Michele knows that those impersonal legal terms don’t explain how this might keep you safe, protect your “fur babies” or make your ex stop hate texting you, but she can explain. She can also work on your behalf to ensure your family case doesn’t get lost in the system and that it gets resolved on your terms. Let Michele and her staff help you through your family dispute or your order of protection so that you don’t come back later realizing you should have come in sooner.
