San Francisco Family Law Attorneys

EFFECTIVE ADVOCACY IN OR OUT OF COURT

In these complex and contentious disputes, our aim is to keep the proceedings as amicable and as simple as possible. If you have children, your chosen approach will affect your future relationship as co-parents, and a practical parenting agreement is almost always preferable to a judge’s edict.

We try to resolve every case without litigation, yet we realize an out-of-court resolution is not always possible. As formidable trial lawyers, we will litigate if faced with a bad faith offer. Whichever course your family law matter takes, Schoenberg Family Law Group, P.C., will treat you with respect, compassion and honesty.
