We will give you our reasoned legal opinion about the best course of action and encourage you to take the next step- whether it is a conversation with your spouse or service of process and everything in between.

The retainer amount for an ordinary divorce is $ 5000. This is based upon the average number of hours of work involved in an ordinary divorce in the jurisdiction. If this seems overwhelming, please ask about our “lay away” plan. We offer creative and flexible financing to help you accomplish your goals and gain the new freedom you are searching for.  We will work tirelessly to ensure that you and your family receive your equal share of all marital assets, including pensions, military benefits and real property and we will protect you from overreach and ensure you make it through this intact.
