Cleaning up your Criminal Record
Expungement of a criminal conviction is an excellent way to close a chapter on a past mistake. Expungement allows a person to move forward with their life, without the baggage of a prior conviction, or having to disclose a criminal record. Expungement provides freedom, peace of mind, and a clean slate.
Expungement requires a lawyer to draft a motion (a formal legal document asking the court to take a particular action). The expungement motion will be filed with the court that sentenced you, and will also have to be served on the prosecutor and, in some cases, the probation department. To get an Order of Expungement, the court must be convinced that you have led an honest and upright life, and the interests of justice would be served by granting the request.

Family Law & Custody
Representing our clients' best interests to survive the struggle for their personal assets and for custody rights of their children; while remaining sensitive to the best interests of the children.
Although typically a fathers' rights advocate, we represent all disadvantaged parents in their struggle to maintain their best relationship with their children; particularly where the other parent seeks to promote the destruction of that relationship.
Family Law: Marriage Dissolution
When you have decided to divorce (or have a strong inclination to divorce), a question of timing may remain: When do you announce the decision or take additional steps such as separating or filing a legal action? The answer lies in balancing the stresses of maintaining the status quo versus the benefits of waiting.
