Do You Need a Lawyer for Divorce in Ventura?

Hiring a Ventura County divorce attorney is not a requirement to divorce. There are ways to file on your own and represent yourself. However, retaining the right services of an experienced family law attorney proudly serving Ventura, CA, is always recommended. A skilled family law attorney can help you navigate the complex areas of law that pertain to any divorce.

It is a common misconception that hiring a family law attorney will cause your divorce to become lengthier and more costly. On the contrary, our certified family law lawyers have compassion and respect for all our clients who are going through this difficult time. Therefore, we examine opportunities that will help expedite your divorce without overlooking critical steps.

How Can a Divorce Attorney Help Me?

  • We can handle all the excess paperwork and legal documents that may seem overwhelming
  • We develop strategies that tailor to your priorities and needs
  • We will recommend which family law issues are worth your time pursuing
  • If there are assets that your spouse may be hiding, we can help discover them

Our objective is to save you time and headache. We will work with you every step of the way to achieve both short and long-term results.

Adversarial, Litigated Divorce Services

Although the collaborative legal process can be an effective resolution for some clients, it is only suitable for some cases. For some divorce cases, an amicable resolution is not possible. Litigated dispute resolution is sometimes the only option that can overwhelm a family.

This is when it becomes critical to retain an experienced family law attorney you can trust if your spouse tries to take advantage of you.

Our family law attorneys have more than 70 years of legal experience representing clients with all their divorce and legal separation needs.

Real Stories from Real People
  • “Professional, Experienced, Real!”

    Deciding to file for divorce was by far one the most difficult decisions I have had to make. Having no idea where to start, who to believe, where to go, Donna was recommended by a friend. Upon calling her office, I was able to make an appointment right away. When I met with her, she listened to me attentively, asked questions and she explained the process from beginning to end. She did not sugar coat anything, she clearly explained all the different scenarios that I was facing, specific to my divorce and child custody matters. Donna helped me during the most overwhelming and stressful time in my life. I am grateful for her support and guidance throughout the entire process, I could not have do ne it on my own.

  • “It’s like a family & they wanna make sure your family is well taken care of”

    I needed assistance ASAP! I called many firms & I was turned away due to COVID & the emergency of my case. I contacted Donna & Michael & they were there so fast, helped me prep, told me what to expect, what they needed from me & explained the processes. I highly recommend their services but be prepared to go to battle because Donna & Michael will literally go into that battle & win it. I have had great experiences with them as a professional team & know when I need them they are there to help, guide & support. It’s like a family & they wanna make sure your family is well taken care of. I appreciate them so much. Thank you.
