Securing your Future

We know that ending a marriage or disputing custody issues can be emotionally difficult. To counter that stress and difficulty, we offer solid advice and experienced representation. If children are involved, the court will always base its decision on what it considers "the best interests of the child." After 30 years, we know what those words mean. We work hard to demonstrate that you know what is best for your children. We also work to preserve your stake in the property owned by you and your spouse.

With children, the court often orders a psychological evaluation. John A. Balent's psychology degree from UCLA has helped enormously in solving these child custody cases.

If we need to litigate your divorce in order to defend your rights, we will. However, we only do so as a last resort. Whether we are in negotiations, mediation or trial, we treat opponents firmly, but fairly. We believe our evenhandedness helps our clients. Even though a client and their spouse may disagree, it is in their best interest to resolve their differences as amiably as they can.
