Guidance and Help for Your California Family Law Case

Divorce and other family law cases can be overwhelming. If you represent yourself, you have to figure out what are your legal options, how to pursue them, how to move your case along, and what to expect. LWR provides individual coaching to help you understand all of these steps. You decide what you need help with, and we will support you in reaching your goals.
We can also help you and your ex work together to reach an agreement that works for your family. Even if you think mediation won’t work, having a trained third party help you talk with each other, and come up with solutions that will work the best for you and your family can often resolve even the toughest cases.

We provide individual coaching in California family court cases only.

Currently NOT accepting new clients. We apologize for the inconvenience. Contact your court’s self-help center, your local bar association, or visit lawhelpca.org to find legal help.
