Using
Innovative Family Law Methods that Work
Our
Cloverdale law firm serves clients in resolving family law disputes
using the following methods, depending on our clients' needs:
Northern
California family law attorney Lindsay R. Smith utilizes innovative
alternative family law approaches where appropriate. One of the methods
used is the "collaborative family law
process."
This allows a couple to spend more resources on analysis and problem
solving and less time fighting. Clients are better served by putting
their efforts into settlement rather than into conflict.
DCSS
/ Child Support Matters
Where
child support is involved, Lindsay can offer her experience and
insight to clients having cases with the Department of Child Support
Services (DCSS). Prior to working in private practice, Lindsay worked
for the Sonoma County Department of Child Support Services for over
half of a decade. Whether you are the parent paying child support or
the parent receiving child support, Lindsay can help guide you through
the process.
Low
Costs and Attention to Each Individual Case
Lindsay's
mission is to provide quality legal services in family law,
balancing strong advocacy for the client with economical,
cost-effective processes to achieve maximum success without undue cost.
At Wine Country Family Law & Bankruptcy Office, we appreciate
that time spent in our office usually means time away from work or your
family. Many clients prefer to conduct business with our office via
phone, e-mail
or fax. While we encourage these methods of communication, you may call
our office at any time to schedule an office appointment. Lindsay is
dedicated to quality, service, knowledge of the law, trust, and respect
for clients, other attorneys, and the courts. In order to devote the
personal attention to your family law matter that you deserve, Wine
Country Family Law & Bankruptcy Office accepts only a limited
number of family law cases at a given time.
Will
Litigate to Protect Your Rights
Lindsay
understands the negative implications of unnecessary fighting.
Therefore, we prefer to implement a constructive approach to providing
for children and the economic and emotional needs of our clients. Our
goal is to have our clients thrive in the next chapter of their lives.
If your matter can be resolved without court intervention, Lindsay will
attempt to do so wherever practical. However, if a more aggressive
stance is necessary, Lindsay is prepared to vigorously litigate your
case to the fullest degree possible.
