When you face crucial decisions involving divorce, child custody, guardianships or domestic violence, an experienced family law attorney can explain your legal options and help you find the best solution for your unique situation.
With a special focus on the area of family law, at the office of James R. LaFevor, Attorney at Law, we deeply understand the distress and emotional trauma surrounding contentious family issues. We make it our goal to achieve the most beneficial resolution for our clients as amicably as possible.
When dealing with difficult family law issues, mediation frequently offers a less stressful, more cost effective and more expedient means of solving problems than litigation. Furthermore, in the mediation process, subjective emotional elements such as guilt, anger, hostility and unreasonable expectations can be taken out of the mix, allowing couples or family members to better understand one another and their mutual problems, resulting in a more favorable outcome for everyone concerned.
Whether settling family law matters out of court or going to trial to resolve contested issues, our wealth of experience enables us to make a significant difference in the outcome of our clients’ cases.
To discuss workable legal options for your family issues, please call the office of James R. LaFevor at 865-637-6258 to arrange a free, no obligation initial half-hour consultation.
