Family Law & Adoption

When you have a legal issue that impacts your family, you need the confidence that you have first-rate legal representation. Dewitt Ross & Stevens' Family Law attorneys are consistently named by local, statewide, and national organizations as the best in their field.

We offer services that smaller firms simply can’t provide, such as access to in-house tax attorneys, bankruptcy attorneys, business attorneys, and estate planners. For clients with large marital estates or complex business interests, this access assures that issues such as tax consequences, preservation of family business interests, intellectual property rights, and more are addressed with your interests in mind. Clients with less complicated financial matters also benefit from our experience and resources, as issues such as division of retirement plans or analysis of tax consequences can be handled in-house, effectively and efficiently.

Just as importantly, we recognize that family law matters often impact important personal issues such as child custody and placement, adoption, and dissolution of long-term relationships. We know that these areas are more than just legal issues—they are often life-changing personal events. No matter what the circumstance, you can have confidence that we will represent you with expertise, sensitivity, care, and respect.

We provide a wide variety of services covering family issues including divorce, adoption, prenuptial agreements, domestic partner legal matters, guardianships, nursing home issues, and more. While many cases are resolved through negotiation, mediation or other alternatives, we are also skilled litigators at both the trial court and appellate level.

Our reputation often encourages reasonable resolutions, but when necessary, we have the experience you need for effective litigation in the courtroom.
