Family Law

Leech Tishman’s family law attorneys have a keen understanding of the sensitive nature of family law matters and are committed to offering clients a highly personalized experience, protecting the best interests of both our client and their family.

Our family attorneys work closely with our clients on everything from routine family law issues to complex legal matters involving high net-worth individuals. From seeking amicable resolutions during some of the most difficult times in our clients’ lives, to providing guidance and support in planning their future and reaching their personal life goals, our objective is to assist clients with the needs of today’s modern families.

Our team’s understanding of the legal, as well as the emotional and financial, implications of family court matters allows our lawyers to support and assist clients during their major life events. We have experience protecting our client’s property, their financial future, and their personal relationships as they navigate the unique challenges encountered through family law practice.

Our family law lawyers have developed our practice by focusing on your needs and your family’s needs. Leech Tishman’s family law attorneys have experience advocating in divorce and child custody cases, offering counsel to parents as they undergo the adoption process, and obtaining and maintaining guardianship when it is necessary to manage another’s financial or personal affairs. They also have experience with alternative dispute resolution, acting as impartial facilitators to allow clients the opportunity to reach a resolution in a civil manner within the family court.
