When is Litigation Necessary?

​

Litigation may be the best or only option when:

​

• The other party refuses to negotiate in good faith

• The issues are complex or highly contested

• Your rights, finances, or relationship with your children are at serious risk

• A court order is needed to resolve or enforce a legal matter

​

When your case must be disputed in court, you deserve an attorney who is confident, prepared, and relentless in advocating for you.
