Picture “Family Law” as an umbrella. This legal practice focuses on issues like child custody, adoption, divorce, and family relationships. Attorneys who practice family law have the capacity to represent their clients in family court or by negotiations like property agreements and court petitions.

At the Claudio & Associates law firm, we focus exclusively on the needs of the clients facing matrimonial and family disputes. Handling a number of family law and matrimonial issues, we also represent in divorce, orders of protection in a family offense petition, spousal support and other related issues.

We make sure to advise you intelligently, providing you with an array of options. Whether the options are traditional adversarial approaches like litigation and trial or collaborative and non-adversarial, Claudio & Associates works toward your best interest.
