Committed To Addressing The Issues That Affect Your Life
Christy, Keith & Donnell Family Law Group, P.C. stands alongside our clients with integrity, compassion, and dedication. We work with you towards fairness informed by the law, and safekeeping for you and your loved ones.
Family law cases most often involve legal entanglements that accompany periods of tremendous change, transition, and growth in one’s most intimate personal life. We understand that your case is not just about the divorce, custody disputes, establishing paternity, or obtaining restraining orders. Rather your case involves foundational changes to perhaps your most significant personal attachments; the nature of your ability to parent, guide, protect and share time with your children; access to your fair share of the financial security you and your spouse built over the course of your marital lifetime; and questions of basic personal safety from physical abuse and emotional harm for both you and your children. These foundational changes impact the basic building blocks upon which your life is based, and when they are in upheaval, life itself can feel daunting and uncertain.
Our first efforts will be to safeguard your welfare. Towards that goal, and when possible, we work with you collaboratively to accomplish mediated cost sensitive resolutions that allow you to move on and rebuild going forward. Unfortunately, agreements are not always plausible in the face of strategic legal action used against you to inflict ongoing damage. When reasonable mediated resolutions are out of reach, we will tenaciously seek Court intervention to ensure your rights and those of your loved ones are preserved and protected.
