As a Huntington Beach child custody lawyer, I understand how important your children are to you and will fight to ensure their best interests are protected while your goals are being achieved. There are many factors a court can look to when determining custody, including:

Child custody is split up into two parts — physical and legal. Legal custody involves the ability to make decisions regarding the child’s medical, educational and religious choices. Physical custody refers to the daily care and residence of the child. I can help you resolve issues that arise with both.

I have extensive experience in a variety of custody and visitation cases. I have handled relocation issues (move-aways) and modifications when work schedules or other obstacles interfered with the parenting plan. I have also resolved enforcement issues when one parent infringes on the time or parental rights of the other.

As your attorney, you will find me to be available, accessible and responsive to your needs. I provide personalized service to every client. I handle every aspect of your case myself and keep you updated at every step in the process. I represent both mothers and fathers in these cases and approach each one with equal passion.
