Firm Information

Overview

Innovative family law — at DeSMIDT RABUSE PLLC, that's what we practice and that's what our clients deserve: an innovative, personalized approach that provides practical and workable solutions for all of their family law issues. We understand that families today are unique, dynamic and changing, and we model our practice on these admirable attributes.

Clients appreciate our insight and viewpoints on the tough issues. We take the time to look at every case with fresh eyes, challenge existing laws if they don't fit the needs of our clients and find solutions that our clients need and deserve.

At DeSMIDT RABUSE PLLC, our attorneys, with over sixty years of experience combined, are creative, energetic and compassionate about helping our clients. The goal of our attorneys has always been to practice a modern style of family law that not only allows for high quality representation of clients in complex legal matters, but also educates clients about alternative methods for resolving disputes and helps them keep the best interests of their children at the forefront of every solution.

Through the years, our attorneys have held steadfast to that goal and achieved a reputation for creativity, quality and exceptional service in the family law community. We practice in the areas of divorce/dissolution of marriage, adoption, custody, visitation and additional legal issues involving children such as paternity, and Child in Need of Protection or Services (CHIPS) actions. Jody DeSmidt is also an expert in the practice of assisted reproductive technology (ART) law, juvenile, and adoption matters. Nathalie Rabuse is also an experienced mediator and provides parenting consultant / coordination services.

At DeSMIDT RABUSE PLLC, we believe that superior legal representation is the most effective way to provide zealous advocacy for our clients. To us, quality means comprehensive and cost-effective legal work designed to present the strongest possible case, both factually and legally, in whatever forum is required. In addition, we believe that clients are to be treated with respect and dignity, that each client's situation is unique, and that changing with the times and forging new legal paths for our clients' best interests are of paramount importance. It is this extra service and dedication to clients that makes our law firm unique and our reputation strong — indeed, true innovators in the field of family law.
