Common Family Law Issues in Norfolk County

about-gallery

Statistics show that approximately half of all marriages end in divorce, a reality that often brings about intense disagreements and intricate legal processes. While guiding you through the necessary steps for divorce, an experienced legal representative can be instrumental in resolving family matters such as asset division, child custody arrangements, and spousal or child support obligations.

Moreover, a diligent member of our legal team can offer assistance beyond divorce proceedings. By proactively assisting engaged or newlywed couples in establishing boundaries and addressing potential future disputes through thorough prenuptial or postnuptial agreements, our team aims to prevent complications down the road.

Following a divorce, a family attorney can advocate for your best interests in seeking modifications to existing agreements. Lastly, for families considering adoption within the U.S., a dedicated family attorney in Norfolk County stands ready to provide the necessary support and guidance throughout the process.

Why Is Retaining Independent Legal Counsel Important?

While the term “family law” may evoke images of emotionally charged divorce proceedings and tense disputes over custody rights or support obligations, not every case that comes before a family court is contentious. In fact, many family court cases proceed amicably, with all parties in agreement.

However, it’s crucial to note that sharing an attorney with your partner, even in harmonious cases, is not advisable. Each party should have their own legal representation throughout the proceedings to safeguard their interests and ensure any agreements reached outside court are legally sound. If you require dedicated guidance from a family lawyer, our Norfolk County team is here to assist you every step of the way.

James Benjamin was my attorney for a divorce that was long and complex.

He is professional, kind, and very good at explaining the different options and what he thinks is the right way to tackle something.

He helped me get through a very difficult situation and helped me to advocate for the best interest of my child. I found him to be honest and straightforward in figuring out what to do.

I can’t say enough good things about him and highly recommend him!

- Adewale Johnson
Quote Icon

I had a complicated and acrimonious divorce that had been lingering in the courts for over 2 years. Within a few months of taking on my case, James was able to reach a settlement agreement. He was also the only attorney I dealt with, over the course of the case, who I felt truly understood how important it was for me to continue to be an active parent for my children, and also understood what this practically entailed for the settlement terms. I will be forever grateful for his considerate and professional management of my case.

Jacob helped me during one of the most difficult time in my life. His understanding and dedication to my divorce helped to make it a little easier. He is also fluent in Spanish which was a big plus; do to my emotions every time I couldn’t explain myself he would talk to me in Spanish and that would make me smile and it would help me relax. Jacob is not only a great attorney but an excellent human being.

I was fortunate to find James. He recently helped me with complex family financial legal issues. He is very technically knowledgeable and(as the review below states): “he is impeccable in his follow through” – he never left me hanging without returning calls or getting things done and was very always supportive. I have been a CPA for over 35 years and have worked with many lawyers. He is unquestionably one of the most competent attorneys I have met, while, at the same time, also being the most responsive to his clients’ needs. I felt protected and understood.

I hired Jacob D. Geller to help me to remove the conditions of my Green Card, based on divorce (divorce after a good-faith marriage). Jacob was transparent, confident, and accessible through the entire process. At the end, I had the conditions removed, even without the need to go for the famous interview with an immigration officer, which saved me a lot of worries. I am deeply tankful for his professionalism and commitment with my case. I highly recommend Jacob D. Geller and his team to work on your case.

James Benjamin served as my mother’s divorce lawyer in Boston, MA. From the very start he presented us with various options on how to tackle it while always giving his guidance on what he felt was the best option for her, but still allowed her to make the final decisions.
My mom is extremely happy with the end results and would highly recommend his services to anyone. He always responded promptly whether by email, text, or phone call. He explained the situation and any terms, new vocabulary and even the possible outcomes of how the case could go. He dealt with everything so we would not have to and we are extremely appreciative of it!

I would like to send Jacob my sincerest and heartfelt gratitude and pray for his commitment and assistance towards my successful green card application. I would not have been able to achieve my complex goal of US legal permanent residency without Jacob’s help and expertise. It was only through his high competence level, expert knowledge of the field, seemingly tireless work days (and nights!), incredibly ardent attitude, and positive energy throughout the process moving forward that my wife and i were able to stand where we do now. I have nothing but high remarks and reviews for Jacob and his firm. Jacob all I can say is thank you and you’re the best at what you’re doing. I will recommend Jacob Geller a zilllion time for your immigration case. and he is a super nice Guy.🙏🙏🙏 Much respect mister Geller Jacob.
