We use a variety of approaches to help our clients resolve family law issues. While our focus is always on negotiating a fair settlement, we will not hesitate to go to court to protect your interests.
Special circumstances apply in cases involving the rights and obligations of unmarried parents. We are skilled in helping unmarried parents use new attitudes to resolve their paternity concerns.
Explore the benefits of mediation and Collaborative Process as alternative methods to the traditional litigation model of dispute resolution. We will guide you through these approaches, which can help couples work through disputes together and make mutual decisions.
Over time, adjustments to the original divorce agreement may be appropriate. Our divorce and family law attorneys combine experience, tenacity, and skill to help you attain the modifications you need.
If you are considering an appeal of your divorce proceeding, we will carefully review your situation and build the strongest possible case, providing effective family law advocacy to secure a positive outcome on your behalf.
We will tirelessly pursue innovative solutions to the complex issues of parenting responsibility (decision-making and parenting schedules). We will fight to ensure that you and your children are in the best possible position as you move forward.

I was very apprehensive about whether I wanted to file for divorce. But after speaking with Mr. Rakowski, I felt more in control over my life. He took time to make sure all of my concerns were addressed and decisions about which options to choose were almost automatic. The fees charged were reasonable given the amount of time he spent with me. I recommend him to all my friends.
