LGBTQ & Non-Traditional Family

Andriea was amazing from the start. (She was the third attorney I tried.) Right out of the gate she set a couple of court dates to let the other side we meant business. From then on, she kept her eye focused on getting a deal done. When emotions kicked in on the part of the principals, she stayed focused on finding a middle ground and insisting on compromise. This settlement never would have happened without her commitment and personal power. Andriea is a force of nature. I highly recommend her to anyone who needs an aggressive and competent family attorney.

I have worked with Andriea on several cases and I am incredibly impressed by her dedication to her clients, the quality of her work and her high level of professionalism. She’s responsive and organized and truly cares about her clients. Andriea is very knowledgeable in all aspects of family law and handles many of the more complex family law matters, such as surrogacy contracts and grandparent rights. I highly recommend Andriea if you are in need of a family law attorney.

Experience including high end and complex divorce and custody matters, child support, protection orders, alimony, post-decree contempt, pre-nuptial agreements, post-nuptial agreements, grandparent rights, paternity, and more.
