Family Law
Committed to making your needs our priority.
The practice of family law involves determining what your legal rights and obligations are when dealing with the issues of divorce, custody, visitation, child support, paternity, spousal maintenance, legal separation, annulment, asset distribution and debt distribution. The practice of family law also involves enforcing and modifying existing court orders.
At Bastian Law Offices, PLC we are intimately aware of the stress involved in family law matters and work hard to shield our clients from that stress. We do this by being attentive to your needs, keeping up to date on the law, managing your expectations, making you aware of our expectations, and maintaining frequent contact with you.
Due to the highly personal nature of family law matters, it has been our experience that each individual has a specific set of goals in mind when they retain a family law attorney. For that reason, we are committed to determining what your needs and expectations are during the initial consultation. We then strive to customize the handling of your case to best achieve those goals.
We look forward to serving you. Please contact our office to arrange for a consultation.
