Professionals with a personal touch incorporating tradition on the cutting edge.

We provide legal services to local businesses and families. We are personable, responsive, and trustworthy. We not only represent local community members, we are also involved in the local community.

We do other things that are too many to list in this short space. If we do not do it, we know someone who does. We maintain close relationships with other attorneys and professionals who do things we do not do. These are people that we implicitly trust.

Hired Attorney Mark D. Brent

I didn’t think that the divorce process could be so smooth but Mark Brent and his team made it happen! I hired him in late January and my divorce was finalized mid-March. They handled everything and I mean EVERYTHING. They kept great communication through the whole process with me as well. I couldn’t have asked for a better firm to help me with all of this. Thank you so much!

Hired Attorney Mark D. Brent

Mark not only has consummate skill in the area of family law but his people skills highlighted by his ability to communicate effectively while focusing his client on the issues that really matter is something above the level of most attorneys. Mark has the skill to quickly to sketch alternative scenarios with both the upside and downside risk clearly outlined. He has the talent to help his clients set the emotions aside and deal only with facts and reality. Highly recommend!

Hired Attorney Carolyn Jansons

Carolyn’s handling of my divorce was excellent. She represented me throughout my contentious divorce involving financial and child custody issues. She is professional, friendly, trustworthy, intelligent and easy to work with; which is a combination that is not so easy to find in the legal community. In hearings she does a great job arguing your side, knowing just what to say at every moment. The end result of my case would not have been as successful, had it not been for her.

Hired Attorney Carolyn Jansons

Carolyn is an experienced, attentive and realistic attorney. I felt comfortable with her from the very start of our initial consultation through the entirety of the divorce process. She was upfront about fees/costs, and would advise me on the cost/benefit of any actions being considered. She was accessible via email and voice mail and I was never left in limbo. Her firm's support staff is friendly and efficient. She is well respected by other lawyers and judges. Professional and personable.

Hired Attorney Carolyn Jansons

I worked with Carolyn in conjunction with another attorney in her firm on a post-divorce dispute. Carolyn, as an expert in finance, ensured I was receiving all monies entitled to me, and went through all of my ex-husband's personal and business documents with me so that I would be able to locate any future problems on my own. She was courteous and professional throughout the process, and always available to me. I have been highly satisfied in all dealings with her and everyone in the firm.

Mark Brent handled my separation and divorce with courtesy and professionalism. He advocated for me in every way throughout the process, always had my best interests in mind, and was available whenever needed to answer any questions I had, no matter how big or small. He provided a very satisfactory outcome to a complicated situation. I have recommended him and his firm many times without hesitation, and have returned myself as the need arose.
