   ### Overview

   The attorneys at Neil Law and Associates handle many complex family law matters, which include matters related to divorce, child custody and child support, among others. While cases pertaining to family law often involve difficult tasks, our attorneys meet those challenges head on by combining an extensive knowledge of family law with a strong work ethic and sensitivity to the emotional needs of our clients. Our attorneys have considerable experience trying cases before both judges and juries, but we also strive to resolve cases amicably through settlement discussions and alternative dispute resolution procedures, such as mediation, whenever appropriate. Our goal is to deliver results to our clients in the most cost-effective manner possible and with the least amount of stress possible.

   Many people who go through issues such as divorce or a child custody dispute become frustrated because their lawyer doesn’t treat their legal concerns as seriously as they do. At Neil Law and Associates, that won’t happen to you. We take our legal responsibility very seriously. We understand what is at stake. Family law involves all the things in life that are most important to you: your relationships, your children and your property.

   Our family law services include the following areas: divorce, alimony, child custody, visitation, legitimation and paternity, child support, prenuptial and postnuptial agreements, restraining and protective orders, grandparent visitation, third-party custody, and post-judgment issues, such as contempt actions.
