A Skilled And Practical Divorce Lawyer

You may have heard negative stories about divorce lawyers — from fees spiraling upward without notice to unreturned phone calls and shocking outcomes. In addition to protecting your legal rights, I focus on preventing unpleasant surprises while reducing your stress in this difficult time.

Your conversation with an experienced lawyer can be a big step toward a reasonable divorce outcome and renewed peace of mind. You can contact me, Michael Suffness, whether you are considering filing for divorce, know you want to proceed, or a case has been filed against you and you need to respond.

Targeting Affordable Resolution, but Prepared for Court When Necessary

Divorces do not have to “get ugly” or cost many thousands of dollars. The more major issues — such as child custody and visitation and your property settlement — that you can agree upon, the less your divorce should cost. I will counsel you accordingly and help with negotiations or mediation.

If key issues remain disputed, costs can increase rapidly — often beginning with the need for a hearing on temporary orders covering child support and other key points. Taking a contested divorce all the way to court puts major decisions in the hands of a judge, and costs should not be underestimated.
