South Bend Family Law Firm
Overview
Family legal conflicts are difficult on so many levels: Emotional. Financial. The stress can even affect you and your family's physical health and relationships with others. Regardless the nature of the conflict, whether it's divorce, child custody litigation, guardianship or grandparent visitation, the dispute is often so charged with anger, fear and uncertainty that a positive and meaningful resolution can seem impossible.
For the past 28 years, I have limited my practice to providing legal counsel and representation to those in St. Joseph County who are struggling with family-related legal mattes. I limit my practice to family law for a good reason: Family law is difficult. It is complex, and it can be unforgiving. It takes a full-time commitment to this single area of the law in order to provided skilled and knowledgeable legal services to those going through some of the most difficult and challenging times of their lives.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level
- - Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials
- - How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost
- - How are the lawyer's fees structured - hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City
- - Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
