Avondale Family Lawyers

FAMILY LAW - We are parents, spouses, significant others that fully understand the struggles and issues that surround custody, parenting, domestic violence, support, and family finances issues.

IMMIGRATION LAW - We are immigrants who know all too well what it is like coming into a new country, trying to fit in, navigating the overly complicated immigration processes, translating for our parents, watching our parents overpay for incompetent legal servies, and living life in a whole new world.

We understand what you are going through and we are here to help.
