Working for an Efficient and Amicable Resolution

As experienced child custody attorneys, we understand the difficulties involved in custody disputes. We work to minimize the pain of our clients and of the children involved by working one on one with our clients. We listen to our clients' goals and work zealously to find a solution that best suits those goals. Although we are aggressive and experienced in representing our clients at trial, we believe there is significantly less trauma for the children if custody and visitation issues can be resolved through negotiations between the parents.

Grandparent's Rights

In a divorce, custody and visitation are two basic rights Pennsylvania recognizes for grandparents with regard to grandchildren. Because these rights cannot hinder a child's relationship with the parents, it is wise for grandparent's to seek legal advice in preserving their important bond with a grandchild. We have extensive experience representing grandparents in matters of child custody. Our goal is to help the families find healthy solutions that protect the best interest of the child and offer everyone solutions for maintaining healthy ties after a divorce or legal separation.
