FAMILY LAW

Zimmerman, Axelrad, Meyer, Stern & Wise is well known for its family law practice. Our Chairman of the Board is a former family law judge and certified family law ADR practitioner. While expeditious resolution is always pursued, the Firm's experienced family law practitioners regularly litigate matters to protect clients' interests.

Most family law cases now involve some form of alternative dispute resolution (ADR), especially in custody, access, child support and division of property disputes. Our family law practitioners have received advanced ADR family law training and are qualified to conduct these mediations.

The Firm offers these family law services:
* Divorce
* Custody
* Paternity
* Adoptions
* Guardianships
* Name Changes
* Premarital and Marital Agreements
* Mediation
