Your Strong Representative In Family Law Matters

At Lees Family Law, Ltd., we continue our commitment to servicing your case. Although direct in-person access to the courts has been limited to cases involving immediate liberty concerns or when public safety concerns are paramount, the system is quickly adapting with opportunities for remote hearings via telephone and other remote technology. Though the world seems to be changing at an ever-present rate, we still have tools to ensure that your family law matter can and will move forward. We are adapting to the changes and taking all steps to make sure that our level of service is not altered by the COVID-19 pandemic. Please know that to the extent applicable, we can take the following steps on new and existing cases:

– Initiate divorce and parentage cases;
– File motions and pleadings seeking relief;
– Obtain future court dates;
– File emergency motions (if the circumstances call for same);
– File Petitions for Orders of Protection;
– Initiate and respond to discovery;
– Conduct hearings and pre-trials with the Judges remotely;
– Participate in mediation electronically;
– Negotiate settlement agreements with opposing counsel;
– Enter Stipulated Orders; and
– Enter Judgments for divorce.

While this health emergency continues to evolve, know that our level of commitment to our clients remains unchanged. Please reach out if you have any questions or would like to schedule a telephone consultation.
