Tim was licensed as an attorney in 1990. He has been practicing almost exclusively as a family law attorney for most of this time. Tim is a Board Certified Family Law attorney, which means that he has devoted a substantial amount of his practice to family law, engaging in contested trials of cases involving matters such as divorce, property division, child custody, child support, adoption, and paternity. Although Tim is an experienced litigator, and will continue to help people in court, he knows from experience, that people are better served both emotionally and financially, if they can resolve their case outside the courtroom. This is why Tim is a strong proponent of collaborative law. His general philosophy is to try and settle the case, if at all possible, and litigate as a last resort, if there are no other alternatives.

Having an experienced family law attorney to guide you through the divorce process can make all the difference. I am Deborah Zitomer, and I have more than 23 years of experience representing clients in all aspects of family law.. Many families experience divorce. While divorce is never easy, it is possible to emerge from a divorce with dignity and hope for the future. The breakup of your marriage does not have to devastate your family.. My goal is to help you and your family through to the other side of crisis.
