Some contested family matters require aggressive and strong litigation tactics to obtain the desired result. Ultimately, we strive to reach a fair and amicable resolution. The attorneys at Kearns Rotolo Law apply their experience to ensure that each case is handled individually according to their client’s needs and desires. Our Firm has entered into numerous settlement agreements, uncontested divorces, parenting agreements and other agreements to achieve a beneficial result for our client in a cost effective manner.

We are familiar with all facets of family law.  We participate in divorce proceedings resolved through litigation, mediation, arbitration, and collaboration. Both mediation and arbitration can be utilized in the litigation process.  The collaborative process is an alternate to litigation, mediation and arbitration, and requires that both parties retain attorneys who are trained in collaborative law.   

We also recognize the need to keep our clients fully informed regarding their case. Our attorneys respond to all calls and requests for information within 24 hours. We respect the practical advice and needs of our clients and work to litigate their matters accordingly. Our main goal is always to help our clients resolve their legal problems as quickly as possible so they can move forward with their lives.
