Compassionate, professional help through life's difficult transitions
It has been said that one of life's few constants is change. The emotional devastation that often occurs with the breakup of a relationship is an unfortunate reality for many people, but it is possible to limit the trauma involved in a transition to a new life. The realities of divorce, child custody and complex issues of property can be very difficult, but if navigated with intelligence and care, ideally these processes can help the parties come to a respectful, just resolution of their issues and to the promise of a better future for all.
Eileen Avila Family Law is 100% focused on caring for and representing people who find themselves facing such an important transition. As an experienced litigator and mediator who is also trained in collaborative law, she will meet the specific needs of your case with skill
and understanding. No two family law cases are the same. At our initial consultation, I learn about you and your family, in particular, what you value and wish to preserve post-divorce and what you want changed. Based on that discussion, we set reasonable goals to be worked towards. No one can promise you specific results, but I can promise that I will work to resolve issues in the best way possible for you and your family.
If you are like most people, a family law situation will be your first encounter with attorneys and the court process. No two family law cases are the same and unfortunately the legal system is complex, confusing and often demoralizing to contend with.
As a Certified Family Law Specialist, in practice since 1982, my job is to offer help, guidance and strong legal representation at some of life's more difficult moments.
My extensive experience working within the family law system is both professional and personal, as I've been through the process in my own divorce and in managing continuing issues with my son's special educational and developmental needs.
Our goal, working together as client and attorney, is to make a successful transition from a time of difficulty to the start of a better life.
