Our clients are assured the highest
standard of advocacy, addressing both the immediate legal issues at hand, as well as the impact upon the client’s future.
The decisions you make during your divorce process will affect you and your family for years to come. That’s why the family-law attorneys at Chausow Shafer, PC take the time to consider many alternatives to move your case forward to the best possible resolution – whether through settlement, litigation, mediation, or collaborative law.
“We do whatever best helps us meet our clients’ goals -- making sure each client understands the range of possible options and the likely outcomes through court and settlement,” says principal Nancy Chausow Shafer.
Their ability to think creatively about solutions helps the attorneys devise a variety of strategies. “In every case, we try to explore all appropriate and available alternatives. In many cases, we can find more satisfying ways of resolving issues for clients and their pocketbooks.” Chausow Shafer and associates understand that those going through divorce undergo emotional strain that can impair their better judgment.
“Try to know where you’re going; don’t get lost in the forest,” she advises. “Don’t get sidetracked on issues that don’t move you toward your goals. In difficult divorces, time and money are often spent on issues that just aren’t important.”
Her firm can help you sort through your priorities – such as your children’s well-being and your financial security – and reach a satisfactory, realistic goal.
