In today’s society, divorce and related family law issues are more common than many would like to see. People from all walks of life can find themselves in need of dissolution, custody determinations, or financially critical support and property division orders. Although divorce and custody can be emotionally difficult and stressful, we are here to help. The Smith Law Group has been representing people from all walks of life in Riverside and Orange County for over thirty years, and is familiar with the local courts, judges, mediators and their ever changing policies and procedures.
With the ready availability of “do-it-yourself” legal documents these days, many people are tempted to go through their divorce proceedings without legal representation. Although you can do this, it is not simple, and we strongly advise against it if there are contested custody, support or property division matters in your case. There are potential pitfalls in every aspect of divorce and custody, and the cost of an attorney is usually minimal compared to the benefits one receives with effective representation. Without legal experience, it is easy to make costly and sometimes life changing mistakes.
When faced with uncertainties in these critical areas of life, you need the clear advice and strength of an experienced attorney skilled in protecting and preserving your rights. We are well aware of how important these matters are to you and your family, and it is our objective to assure that your wishes are heard and acknowledged, all while helping you avoid costly pitfalls and obtaining the best results possible.
To learn more about how our experienced legal team can assist you in protecting you, your family and your finances, contact us today for your initial consultation.

“Ms. Smith helped me with my custody case. I was very nervous and had no idea what to do or expect until I met with her. She explained the entire process to me and put me at ease. When my court day came up, she had everything in order and was extremely aggressive, professional and just what I needed.”
