"Family Law and Civil Litigation requires a strong sense of compassion. A firm and lawyer must never forget the people behind the case number. "
For those looking for legal help in Family Law matters or in our other practice areas, Kermisch & Paletz LLP provides a unique and dependable approach. What sets our firm apart from other offices is the personal commitment to exploring and building the client/lawyer relationship to ensure your needs are met. Unlike the big firms, you are not just another client or case number.
Kermisch & Paletz LLP is a dedicated law firm that knows the only way to bring about fair and just solutions is by building trust with our clients first. Rest assured, your case will be handled by lawyers you know and not an attorney who you have never spoken with and you didn’t anticipate hiring. All five of our lawyers are compassionate and dedicated to meeting our client’s needs in a professional and cost effective manner.
Whichever avenue you choose to take, we can help you reach fair and equitable agreements for child support, spousal support, custody and visitation, and the distribution of property. We can help you structure a divorce so that your settlement agreement serves your interests well.
CONFIDENTIAL LEGAL CONSULTATION
A free confidential consultation appointment can be made by calling (818) 478-1043. During your initial consultation, you will meet with one of our six licensed attorneys, in order to define your situation, the difficulties involved, the goals you have in mind, and the next steps to take. From there, a strategy can be customized to determine a fair and just solution for you and those involved.
At the end of the consultation you will receive a detailed breakdown of how fees and costs are applied and the different roles the firm can play in your representation. You are encouraged to ask any questions that come to mind. Our goal is to create a comfortable client/lawyer relationship and that starts by responding to your concerns.
We look forward to meeting with you and working towards your goals and providing you with informed legal advice.
When a divorce is designed to focus on creating new futures instead of righting the wrongs of the past, everybody benefits. In many ways, the divorce process is about making decisions: who gets what, who has what obligations, how much and for how long? How you and your spouse arrive at these answers can be influenced greatly by the attorney you choose to work with and by the avenues you pursue to dissolve your marriage.
Whichever avenue you choose to take, we can advise and help you reach fair and equitable resolutions. Sometimes that requires us to vigorously defend the rights of our clients through litigation if settlement discussions are not fruitful. Other times, it simply requires that we keep our clients well informed of their rights and responsibilities, and of the many ways divorce can be structured to create healthier, happier lives.
Our primary responsibility is to zealously represent your interests. At all times, we will represent the client’s best interests and follow their instruction.
