In most firms, it is the staff that handles the bulk of your case. You end up dealing with paralegals, assistants, or clerks instead of the lawyer you signed up with. At Pacific Family Law and Divorce, assistants may handle the paperwork and occasional informational calls, but most of the time, you will be working with your actual trial attorney.
Our office and family law attorneys have built the firm from the ground up with efficiency in mind. Paperless, custom-built data centers for instant access to all file information, and flexible communication by phone, email, and even secure instant messaging. We want you to be able to participate as part of the team in your case.
Far too many family law "mills" are out to settle your case as fast as possible so they can move on to the next. Pacific Family Law Firm was founded by lawyers who are used to the courtroom and don't run from it. If getting you the best outcome for your family law matter means taking the case to trial, we will do it. If you are ready for a trial, we won't back down either.
Don't wait to address your family law matter. Time-sensitive issues require prompt attention to protect your rights and your family's future.
