A Holistic Approach to Family Law Matters

 

Many of our clients have complex issues surrounding property division, support and child custody. Our holistic approach recognizes the fact that your case will be affected by many variables including not only the facts and the law but also the dynamics between you and your spouse, your spouse’s attorney, and the judge in your case. Because the law is not always black and white, our clients benefit from our creative and strategic advocacy. We know that the best result for you will include both tangible and intangible factors. We strategize with you to identify your goals to maximize the possibility of achieving them.

Counseling clients through the process of divorce entails an artful combination of skillful lawyering, empathy, client empowerment and honesty. We are skilled negotiators with extensive experience in settlement, mediation, and collaborative practice. We are also highly effective litigators who are courtroom tested.

 

 

Managing Risk and Uncertainty

 

The partners of Robin, Ferguson & Kempton have been practicing together for over a decade and work closely together. Through our collective experience in thousands of divorces, we are familiar with the steep emotional and financial toll that can affect individuals and their families. Our attorneys seek to reduce and manage the unavoidable stress and uncertainty of the divorce process.

We identify likely outcomes and risks so that you can make informed decisions as you evaluate the best path forward for you and your family.
