Few areas of law place such high pressure to get it right the first time and call upon such a wide area of ability, experience, and capacity to engage the unexpected as family law.

Family law requires a vast range of skills beyond advocacy, requiring unwavering and professional attention to the client’s sensitivities, concerns and desired outcome.  That attention is a hallmark of Wachtel Missry’s family law practice.  Wachtel Missry attorneys regularly handle all aspects of family law practice with sensitivity and care.

When child custody or parenting time is in dispute, the Firm works for a mutually negotiated decision that focuses on the best interests of the child while taking into account the needs of each parent.  Our business knowledge and deep well of experience in family law matters gives us insight into value enabling the allocation of marital assets appropriately.
