Family law involves the people and things that are most important to you: your children, your relationships, your property and your finances. Our attorneys have the experience to protect your interests at a time you need it most.

All we practice is family law. Our lawyers have decades of experience handling issues such as divorce, child custody and support, marital property division, premarital agreements, and protection of separate property rights. We have offices in Fairfax and Leesburg, and serve clients throughout Northern Virginia.

Our lawyers have represented people from every profession and walk of life: business leaders, medical and legal professionals, accountants, stay-at-home parents, teachers, social workers, same-sex couples, military officers and government employees. We have resolved disputes involving every kind of marital asset from executive compensation, to military benefits, to closely held business interests and partnerships.
