Family law is complicated, and you shouldn’t trust the wrong attorney with something as important as child custody, child support, alimony, and the division of assets, which can make you feel scared and even more exhausted than you already are. Many of our clients struggle with the fear of losing their children, of their lifestyles and their financial norms changing. We know how stressful it is to exchange custody, to feel like your co-parent doesn’t listen to your concerns about your children, and to have a spouse who spends money frivolously without consulting you. Sometimes our clients endure an unhealthy relationship for so long, that the problems start to feel normal, and we want to help them get out of that situation.
We’ll always give you honest, experienced advice and won’t sugarcoat the reality of circumstances pertaining to your case so you can fully understand your options, rights, and responsibilities.
With over 40 years of combined experience and having gone through divorce ourselves, we not only have the expertise to work towards the most beneficial outcome for your case but also empathize with what you’re going through.
We understand that contacting an attorney sometimes comes with danger and risk. We’ll always respect your privacy and conditions of contact.

“Ms. Vella’s kind words to me after she settled my case meant a lot to me. I can never remember feeling more alone and dazed than I did at the beginning of my case, and pray I never experience that feeling again. But Ms. Vella gave me a bit of self-worth and I am truly appreciative of that.”
— J. M.
