We offer all of our potential client a consultation to discuss their case to determine the merit as well as what we can do to help you in your legal matter.

We ask all of our new clients to complete intake sheets with information that is necessary to represent their case in court. We provide these sheets online so that you can review which information will be necessary at the time of your consultation. Please feel free to review these intake sheets and prepare them ahead of your appointment. Proper completion of the intake sheet will reduce your wait on the date of your appointment.

General Client Intake Sheet (for use on all non-family matters, criminal and civil)

Family Law Intake Sheet (for divorce, paternity, guardianship, and other family matters)

Child Supplement (for family matters with children, this form is necessary as well)

We accept Visa and Mastercard.

At this time of year many are preparing to file their taxes. Do you know what you need to know about claiming your children if you and the other parent are separated?

In general, a taxpayer may claim a personal exemption for each qualifying dependent, which includes the taxpayer's children. The IRS has detailed guidelines for who qualifies for a dependent, but as said, this includes a person's minor children.

If a child's parents are filing separately, the IRS rules prohibit both from claiming the same child. This can cause problems in families who are separated but have children together. Especially in situations where the parents do not agree on how to handle the child tax credit and deductions.
