Committed to Serving Your Family

Family law is a complicated legal area. While legal issues are already challenging to sift through, emotions can run extremely high when the issue concerns your family and your future relationships. Our lawyer works closely with clients to understand their individual needs and goals, and we consult you before we take any action.

Our family services include:

  • Divorce: Our firm has seen a range of divorce cases, from relatively friendly and conflict-free to hostile. Divorce is tough on all parties involved, including your children. We’re able to guide you carefully through the proceedings and help you make the right decisions for yourself and your children.
  • Restraining orders: Relationships can sometimes be toxic and result in threats, destruction of property, or physical violence. When any of this occurs, you should call our attorney to help you secure a restraining order, also known as an order of protection, immediately. We can protect you and stop the abuse once and for all.
  • Child custody: One of the main issues of divorce is deciding which parent will have custody of the children. Our lawyer can provide compassionate but level-headed counsel during child custody resolution and help you understand the different types of custody and how they work.
  • Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements: Everyone hopes their marriage will last, but regardless, it’s important to protect your interests and your future, which is why creating a pre- or post-marital agreement is a good idea. Our team is able to help you determine which agreement is best for you and create an agreement that is legally binding.

Demonstrated Experience in Immigration Cases

Our lawyer is well-versed in immigration law and the policies governed by the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). Immigrant policies change all the time with each new president who is sworn into office – our team remains updated on these changes and can help you if your loved one is trying to obtain an immigrant visa. Uniting your family is our top priority.

We have demonstrated experience handling the following types of immigration cases:

  • Family-based immigration: One of the main ways people can immigrate to the United States to be with family members is through marriage. A K-1 fiancé visa, for instance, allows you to remain in the U.S. for 90 days to get married and apply for a green card, or permanent residency. However, getting a coveted green card can be complex, and immigrants must go through a rigorous marriage interview with the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). Among other services, our attorney can work with you to file paperwork and prepare you for your interview.
  • Business-based immigration: The U.S. offers various options to people who wish to invest in its economy. Establishing a business is a common way for people to immigrate and settle in the country, and our attorney can sit down with you to determine what kind of business you have and which visa fits your needs and ambitions.
  • Student-based immigration: International students who decide to come to the United States to study have to follow different rules depending on the student type and education level. For example, international students enrolling at a university or college would apply for a different visa than students enrolling in technical programs at vocational institutions.

With so much at stake, you don’t want to take a chance on losing everything by navigating the system on your own. Call Lara Law Firm to take advantage of our experience and resources.
