Family Law
Our family law group brings stability to difficult financial and emotional issues that arise when personal and family relationships evolve. The group consists of certified family law specialists with experience handling complex financial issues including dividing businesses, real estate, intellectual property, and executive compensation. Addressing the needs of cases with issues of mental health, substance abuse, intimate partner violence, child abuse, and other deeply personal and challenging issues are where we excel leveraging our litigation and alternative dispute resolution skills.
Civil Litigation
Our civil litigation group pursues justice and accountability in the civil court for survivors of sexual assault, domestic violence, and stalking. Survivors have a right to pursue financial recovery and accountability beyond the limitations of criminal prosecution. Our litigators pursue tort recovery against perpetrators and entities who foster an environment ripe for assault regardless of whether the criminal justice system brings satisfactory resolution. We bring our passion for advocacy to the courtroom while also expertly negotiating settlements for our clients when appropriate.
Alternative Dispute Resolution
Our Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) group is dedicated to swift resolution outside of the courthouse. Private judging, mediation, arbitration, neutral evaluation, and consultation provide an opportunity for matters to be addressed in a private, efficient, and fair manner. The impartiality and experience of a retired Superior Court Commissioner, coupled with extensive experience and training in dispute resolution and in-depth knowledge of the law enable our ADR practitioners to bring even the most complex, intractable cases to completion.
Whether our clients are planning for the future, ending a relationship, developing parenting plans, dividing family assets and debts, or seeking safety and justice, ADZ Law, LLP offers advocacy, support, and resolution. We offer a range of services including advice only, limited scope services, full representation, appellate review, and private dispute resolution.
