The Law Center for Children and Families - Madison, WI
The Law Center for Children and Families Law Firm Overview
At The Law Center for Children & Families, in Madison, our lawyers work to help our clients find peace of mind and security in family law resolutions of all types. Our Wisconsin clients come to us looking for creative and thoughtful options in solving routine to complex family law and estate planning issues.
Our law firm's attorneys are experienced and knowledgeable in many aspects of divorce, child custody, parental rights, LGBT family law and several others. Following a careful review of each case, we ask ourselves if a successful resolution of the case will be efficient and effective in protecting the best interests and the rights of the child and other family members involved. If the answer is yes, and we can be sure that our work will be beneficial to our client and to the goals we have as a firm, we proceed with applying the skills, knowledge and resources of our law firm to the best possible outcome in the case.
We believe that when children are involved in a family law issue, their needs and interests come first. We believe children must be loved, nurtured and respected. Their lives should be as free from fear, anxiety, uncertainty and harm as much as is possible. This is what drives our commitment and determination in providing positive results for families and individuals in our law firm's practice.
The Law Center for Children & Families serves and protects the rights of families of many different forms equally. We welcome and fight for single parents, two-parent families, same-sex couples, multigenerational families, stepparents and families not related by blood.
We are active in the community, donating our time, skills and insight to several family-focused Wisconsin organizations and family law seminars.
We also have experience in appeals cases before the Wisconsin Court of Appeals, the Wisconsin Supreme Court, the United States Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit and the United States Supreme Court.

Adoption
Adoption comes in many forms. Some cases are simple and straightforward while others are more complicated. We strive to be sensitive to the needs of birth parents and adoptive parents while keeping the welfare of the child as our top consideration.
Custody and Placement
Custody and placement are two of the most important issues to be resolved in both divorce and paternity cases. Our experienced attorneys can help find a resolution and can step in when new issues arise for your family.
Divorce and Dissolution
We believe "winning" a divorce case is finding the best solution for the family, especially for the child. Children have a right to the most secure and stable family environment, no matter what the adults are experiencing in their own relationship.
LGBT Family Law
Families today take many forms. Many times it takes the law some time to catch up to today's definition of family. We find creative solutions for both parents to have a legal relationship with their child.
Estate Planning
Estate planning is an often overlooked piece of life. Many people don't want to think about it, don't have the time or don't understand it. We strive to make the process a structured and positive one with the final product being your peace of mind.
