Finding a lawyer you can trust is paramount. Even with the best outcome possible in a divorce or child custody case, there is a great deal of stress. Divorces create financial strain. A split family will often have to sell their home and move into two new homes. Except in rare cases, child custody is usually split so parents spend less time with their children. New adults are often introduced into family life more quickly than you would expect. A good family lawyer is going to support you through each step of the process. He will remain level-headed when you are not. By staying focused on reaching a good resolution, Marc and County Law Center become your advocate so you don’t have to expend energy worrying about legal matters in this difficult time.
