Family Law

There are few legal areas more emotionally charged than family law. That means you need qualified, experienced lawyers to navigate the often complex legal system and guide you through it.

Our family law attorneys and paralegals work closely with clients to understand their needs and best position them to attain their goals – whether through negotiation or litigation.

Our focus is on helping clients find common sense solutions and resolutions, in or out of court. Sensitive and delicate matters are handled discreetly with hands-on service. We can also recommend other professionals to provide services including counseling, financial and estate planning, and asset valuation and additional assistance.

KingSpry is a full service firm. When personal meets professional, such as in complex matrimonial business cases, KingSpry’s matrimonial attorneys can call on the knowledge of lawyers concentrating in other areas of law to enhance quality representation. Our attorneys are well known in their field, have lectured and written extensively, and hold leadership positions within the family law field.

By staying abreast of the ever-changing federal and state tax laws, our attorneys and paralegals have the understanding necessary to counsel, draft, and implement estate planning strategies that meet the needs of each individual client.
