Our best referrals come from people we have helped through challenging family law matters.

  • Our attorneys have extensive family law experience. Our experience means you will know all your options and you will have a lawyer with the experience to represent you no matter how complicated your case may be. We have attorneys with more than 30 years of divorce and family law experience. There are not many law firms with lawyers with more experience than those at Avery & Avery. 

  • We have a deep concern for you and your family. Our law firm practices family law because we care about families and what happens to them especially in times of change and transition. That concern means your lawyer will have the time and consideration to answer your calls and assist you in accomplishing your goals.

  • We fight for you. In a paternity action, a divorce, a custody dispute, a prenuptial agreement or any other family law matter, you need a lawyer who will provide sensitive counsel and, at the same time, fight for your best interests. You need a lawyer who gives you confidence - a lawyer you know you can count on to stand by you. That lawyer is at Avery & Avery.
