WE ARE HERE TO HELP


Quality Legal Advice & Exceptional Service


Our team at Lyon Family Law is here to help you clear a path to a new chapter in your life.

A divorce or separation can be a painful time for everyone involved. Emotions sometimes run high and the legal issues can be complex. Even finding the right lawyer may seem daunting. You need a lawyer who truly listens and understands what you are going through. If we understand your goals we can help you focus on generating options and the best solutions for you.

Separation is both an end and a beginning. We try to focus on making the end come as quickly and painlessly as possible while helping you find a new beginning. How you deal with the end of your relationship will set the stage for your new start. You must decide, as you have control over how you face and overcome the end of your relationship.

OUR APPROACH GIVES YOU OPTIONS


Our approach is basically twofold:

First, we identify your needs and inform you about your rights and obligations. This is the clinical legal side and we need to discover what particular legal issues are raised by your circumstances.

Second, and equally important, we help you explore your dispute resolution choices. This means what process option will help you resolve your issues as quickly and cost-effectively as possible, for example, Collaborative Family Law, mediation, negotiation, arbitration and only as a last resort, litigation.

We assist in fashioning a custom-tailored legal plan that is the best fit for you and your unique circumstances. After all, no two people are alike, and no two legal problems are identical. When appropriate, we may also recommend utilizing other specialists such as financial advisors, accountants, social workers, and psychologists, in order to provide a holistic approach to the resolution of issues.

We are confident that you will find our personalized approach refreshing.
