Experienced Legal Representation for Fathers and Mothers

Though designed to protect each citizen’s rights, the legal system also presents numerous challenges for most Californians. The language that is used, the rules which are enforced, and the documentation that is required can be confusing and overly complicated, creating serious obstacles for hard-working people who simply want the best for their families. It is not in your best interests to tackle California’s vast and complex legal system without professional guidance from an attorney who is qualified to handle your matter. It is easy for even the most devoted of parents or spouses to overlook small technicalities in the legal process, which can have serious repercussions for your finances, your property rights, and most importantly, your family relationships.

At The Law Offices of Bamieh & De Smeth, PLC, our family attorneys will sit down with you to discuss your concerns, get a clear idea of your goals and objectives, and develop a strategy designed to achieve a favorable outcome.

We know that going through a divorce or custody battle can be emotionally draining for all of the parties involved, and will treat your case with sensitivity and professionalism while making the process smoother, simpler, and less stressful. Our goals are to lighten your burden, give you peace of mind, and help you obtain positive results.
