Who We Are
Our Family Law practice helps our clients navigate through some of the most challenging personal legal matters including prenuptial agreements, divorce, post-divorce matters, child custody, and complex distribution of property. We also handle adoption and juvenile court cases.
We have extensive experience in all legal family matters. We work on creative solutions. We will rigorously pursue successful outcomes.
How We Help
We know everyone’s story is unique and we begin by listening intently for details that may help your case. Then, we educate you about the Virginia or North Carolina laws that apply to your situation and analyze ways we will be there to guide you. Finally, we will strategize and present options and advise on the best option available.
As we move together through your case, we will aggressively pursue a resolution, never losing sight of the need for compassion.
Because this isn’t just Family Law. This is all about you and your family.
Who We Represent
We aren’t surprised to hear someone has come to our practice through a friend or a current client. Referrals keep us busy, and we are proud to have gained the trust of the communities we serve.
Family issues also require the services of other legal areas of practice – tax, business, trusts and estates. Kaufman & Canoles has experienced attorneys in these fields and will assist on your case and your legal needs without having to go elsewhere.
