Robert Coleman - Lafayette Family Law Lawyer Reviews & Ratings

I am active in the Contra Costa County Bar Association and the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers. I also volunteer with The Legal Aid Society of San Mateo County and Legal Access Alameda.. Representative Matters:• Secured favorable custody rulings in two domestic violence restraining order cases by uncovering fabricated evidence, including falsified text messages and a fraudulent negative drug test.• Successfully opposed a motion for a substantial increase in child support obligations, prevailing based on case law limiting retroactive application of the court’s order.
