Law Office of Stephen Gassner

A marital (or non-marital) break-up can be bad enough, without having to worry about who receives which property, scheduling your kids parenting time, protecting yourself from domestic violence, or clarifying false allegations to assure that the court knows what actually occurred. When these problems are compounded by substance dependence, mental health issues, or financial quandaries, we're ready to help. We are ready to litigate or mediate, or to fix-up what other lawyers already messed-up. Stephen Gassner has broad experience in nearly all aspects of Family Law, and has established an honest and ethical approach to solving life's most difficult problems.

Parents vie for time with their children, ultimately hurting the children if they go about it in a disorganized way. We attempt to structure the process in a manner that is ultimately less traumatic for the youngsters.

Domestic violence afflicts couples in all age ranges, all cultures, and all economic groups. Whether you have been abused by your spouse, or accused of abusing your spouse -- or significant other, we can help.

At the end of a marriage, the court is required to divide the community estate (assets and debts) equally. But there are many possible ways to go about it. And there are many different kinds of assets and debts to consider. You wouldn't divide a family owned business the same way you would divide a house, pension plan, or credit card. It is amazing how many spouses get caught stealing from the marriage. Whether you need to retrieve money that has been taken, defend against claims to account for it, or whether there is a simple spreadsheet to be prepared, we do our part.
