“Ryan had one week to prepare for my case after I was forced to change my attorneys. Ryan was coming in for the finale proceeding and was at a huge disadvantage or so I thought!! To make a long story short, Ryan is
extremely professional, knowledgeable with strong communication skills and ensured the outcome for me was fair. He is the attorney you need by your side.

“I am delighted to write this review in praise of Cliff Petroske, If it were feasible, I would purchase television time to sing his praises! He is a true professional: intelligent, compassionate, knowledgeable about the law, psychologically astute, and respectful of the views of others. A fighter in the courtroom, he wins his points without landing in the gutter or pushing others into it.”

“I think when it comes to divorce, the position everyone is looking for is just trust. So much is lost and so much is forsaken that unless someone takes control, understands the loss and actually feels your pain, they can not be of real help. In this, Cliff through all my tears has made me understand he will only do as I want, only take steps that are right for not only me but whats best for all parties.”

Our Practice Areas
Divorce
Divorce is a life-changing event, and one that should not be taken lightly or without the consultation of an experienced divorce attorney. We guide you through the divorce process with compassion and clarity, ensuring your rights are protected.
Mediation
Divorce mediation helps spouses avoid lengthy, expensive litigation. Our skilled mediators guide couples to resolve key issues like custody, finances, and property division without going to court.
Child Custody
Family law is constantly evolving. We stay up-to-date on new developments and local court decisions to strengthen your case with the most relevant legal precedents.
Child Support
Ensuring fair child support can be critical for both custodial and noncustodial parents. We help secure payments that meet your needs, while addressing any disputes or challenges to support orders.
QDRO
When dividing retirement assets during divorce, a QDRO ensures your benefits are properly protected and distributed. Our lawyers help ensure your retirement funds are handled correctly, minimizing future financial risks.
Appeals
If a court ruling in your divorce or custody case was unfair, we can help you explore options for an appeal. We fight for your rights to get a fair resolution, even after a decision has been made.
Annulments
If your marriage is legally void or voidable, an annulment may be the best option. We help determine if annulment is the right course of action and guide you through the process.
Prenuptial Agreements
A prenuptial agreement provides clarity on financial expectations and protects assets before marriage. Our attorneys assist in drafting and reviewing prenups to ensure both parties' interests are properly addressed.
