Divorce & Separation
Making the decision to end your marriage is by its very nature stressful. There are a number of decisions you will need to make before your divorce is finalized, and I am here to make sure you receive the support you need in order to enjoy a bright and secure future. From negotiating fair spousal maintenance or child support agreements to ensuring that your assets are divided in an equitable manner, you can trust that I will protect your best interests at every phase of the process.
Spousal Support/Alimony
If one spouse is significantly less able to earn a living post-divorce, the higher-earning spouse may be required to pay spousal support (also known as alimony). It is my job to assist you in negotiating an equitable agreement and I am ready to work hard so that you have everything you need to move forward into a brighter future.
Child Support
Child support is money paid by one parent to the other to assist that parent in supporting the parties’ child or children. I will work with you to establish fair and equitable child support, whether to be paid by you or by your spouse and will work hard with you to achieve your goals and secure a favorable outcome.
Child Custody/Decision-Making
Probably the most emotionally draining and difficult part of family law litigation concerns where, with whom and under what circumstances any children will reside, and who will have the authority to make decisions on the children’s behalf. I will listen carefully to your goals and concerns and will do my best to protect your child’s best interest at every turn.
Paternity
If you are struggling with a paternity issue, I am fully prepared to help you understand your legal rights and your available options for moving forward. I have extensive experience in paternity matters, so you can trust that I have what it takes to help you secure your desired outcome.
Modifications
Change is an inevitable part of life. If your circumstances have changed and you need to request a modification to an existing child support, spousal support, or child custody order, I can help you successfully navigate the process.
Probate
Probate in the formal sense is the legal process to effectuate a will. It has come to include all of the processes whereby a deceased person’s property is passed on to their beneficiaries, whether or not by court action. Where court action is required, a personal representative will be appointed, the assets collected, the decedent’s debts dealt with and the remaining assets distributed to the beneficiaries. This administration process may become complex and drawn out, so I am here to guide you through every step.
Real Estate Law
Real estate transactions can be straightforward and uncomplicated or a complex maze of paperwork, tasks, and deadlines. Whether you simply need advice on the purchase or sale of a house or require substantial representation in court regarding real estate, including partition actions, landlord-tenant disputes, evictions, and the like, I’m prepared to represent you and secure a successful outcome.
Landlord-Tenant Disputes / Relations
There are many ways in which disputes between landlords and tenants may arise. Whether you are struggling with a tenant who is refusing to pay rent or you are a tenant who feels that the landlord has violated their agreement to maintain the safety of the property, I can help you negotiate a fair and favorable resolution.
Evictions
Whether you are the landlord or the tenant, evictions are serious and stressful matters. I have a deep familiarity with eviction laws in Arizona, and I will make sure you understand your rights and your options as we worked towards a resolution.
Civil Litigation
Whether you need trusted and effective legal guidance for cases involving personal injury, breach of contract or other non-criminal legal matters, my decades of experience in civil litigation allows me to employ successful legal strategies to obtain the results you’re seeking.
Collections
If you need to take legal action to collect a debt, it is a good idea to have a seasoned attorney to help you navigate the procedures you will face. These procedures include the preparation and filing of a civil complaint, service of the complaint on the offending party, obtaining an actual judgment against that party, whether by trial or otherwise, and then collecting the amounts due. Together we will work hard to obtain your desired outcome.
