At Carlo J. Martina P.C., we provide each client with creative, competent, goal orientated representation in the resolution of their family law issues.  We seek to protect your legal rights and secure your legitimate objectives, while minimizing the trauma that the process can otherwise have on you.  While skilled at using traditional litigation strategies, we will first explore trying to use more innovative techniques.  These include early stage mediation, and even collaborative law, in order to employ the least adversarial, cost effective method to represent your interests, while trying to keep and/or promote, a respectful, working relationship, particularly if there are minor children involved. Only if necessary, and after discussions with you, would we pursue an ethical, but more aggressive legal strategy.

Our clients have the benefit of our extensive and highly focused experience in family law issues.  We value close and continuous communication with our clients so that they know what is happening in their family law case every step of the way.  Family law cases raise many important questions.  We always take the time to answer your questions and concerns in an easily understood manner.
