Divorce with Dignity and Compassion

 

Divorce is a stressful process that requires you to make fateful decisions that will affect your life for years to come. At this critical point in time, wise counsel, sound advice and a complete understanding of the law are essential.  At the family law practice of Lynn H. Sturges, we take the time to learn what our clients really want and help them set realistic expectations. Then we use our experience and creativity to create the best results available.  Whether you are initiating the action, or have been served with dissolution documents, our goal in your case will be to achieve a successful resolution of outstanding legal issues so that you can move forward in life in a positive manner.



Realistic and Practical Advice

 

Our honest, straight-forward, and realistic approach enables us to provide efficient and cost-effective services in a low-stress manner. We do not advise clients to pursue unachievable goals, and if you do not need a lawyer, we will tell you so.  In working for you, we will discuss your personal situation, your hopes for your children, and your dreams for the future. Then we will develop a realistic plan designed to achieve your goals and help you make a successful transition to life after divorce.


Protecting Your Rights

 

At the same time, we do not compromise when it comes to our clients' rights.  We never presume to know what is best for our clients until we take the time to learn what they really want and need. We will make sure that we are in full agreement as to the desired outcome before going to battle for you in regard to matters such as child custody and property division. Where there is conflict, we believe in mediation as the most effective way to achieve a good result, but we are ready to do battle when a trial is in the client's interest.

 

Choosing the Right Attorney

 

Unless you and your spouse already have an agreement on the basic division of property and custody of any children, you should be careful to find an attorney with substantial experience in the field of family law. While it is not necessary to find an attorney whose exclusive practice is family law, it is important to hire an attorney who is experienced in this area of law and who is familiar with the custom and judges in your jurisdiction. This experience is necessary because many issues in divorce law allow a court considerable discretion in issuing rulings.  Lynn H. Sturges has that experience and has dedicated her entire practice to family law.
