Paternity

Tot Law, APC attorneys also help in situations in which the parents of a child were not married. These cases – called paternity actions – involve crucial issues such as custody/visitation and child support, and are fought hard by Tot Law, APC’s Paternity lawyers in order to make our client’s goals a reality. Call now if you share a child with another person to whom you were never married for a free assessment of your case.

Child Custody and Visitation

Child custody and visitation issues in divorce and paternity cases are some of the most important and hard-fought matters we deal with. This is for good reason as often nothing is more important to a parent than his or her relationship with the child as well as that child’s health and safety. For these reasons, our child custody and visitation attorneys do everything in their power to help you to realize your custody/visitation goals. These are complex matters in which the applicable law mixes with the facts which mix with a parent’s credibility with the judicial officer, and all of these factors must be taken into account in each individual case. For this reason, you should consider entrusting these vital custody and visitation issues to attorneys whose intelligence and professionalism make us some of the most respected in the field. Most initial consultations are free. Call now!

Child Support

Child support is another area of the law in which having an exceptional attorney can make all the difference. Whether your need is to raise the support you receive or lower the support you provide, a Tot Law, APC Child Support attorney will present your absolute best case in court so that an appropriate child support order can be issued. Tot Law, APC attorneys are experienced, knowledgeable, diligent, well-respected, and leaders in our fields, and we look forward to bringing our considerable skill to fight any and all issues in your particular case!

Trustworthy, Responsive, Customer-Oriented, and Good Written Work! Paul was very attentive, understanding and sympathetic. Unlike other lawyers, he was not aggressive, not pushing me to hire him. Instead he provided me an honest overview. With his help, I was able to fully accomplish my goals.
