Family Law
McManis Faulkner takes pride in its family law group. Our attorneys
have extensive experience representing both petitioners and
respondents, husbands and wives, in the dissolution of marriage,
and our cases involve such diverse issues as child and spousal
support; custody and visitation; and division of property involving
residence, real and vacation property, stock options, employment
benefits, pensions, and stock and bank accounts. Our practice
also involves the set aside issues of marital settlements and
prenuptials, as well as the rights of same sex couples. Our
family law attorneys also have experience representing young
and teenage children as well as minor children as appointed
by the court.
MF lawyers serve as consulting attorneys
for parties who are mediating their own cases. Rather than
actually represent the parties in these matters, we consult
as they negotiate their own cases with the assistance of a
skilled mediator, both for property and custody issues. MF
works closely with professional consultants, forensic accountants
and experts to guide our clients through the mediation and
evaluation processes.
The firm also works closely with private
judges, often jointly retaining private judges with opposing
counsel, as well as representing clients before the Superior
Court in Santa Clara County and other Bay Area venues.
At MF, we have a strong group of attorneys
with expertise in a number of areas, including civil law.
This strong background in civil litigation provides extensive
experience with discovery disputes, as well as law and motion
practice from that area. MF attorneys have the ability to
bring a breadth of knowledge and understanding of business and torts and other crossover issues in
family law cases. Approximately 98% of our cases settle and
2% go to trial, and our results are generally excellent. We
take pride in our command of detail and ability to carry out
complex cases as a result of the team we have assembled.
