We are here for you, a voice of reason during emotionally challenging times.

Our Paternity Dispute Representation

We will represent any party with an interest in a paternity determination, including:

• Putative fathers — We aggressively protect fathers’ rights, helping you seek custody and visitation rights, or working with you to challenge unfounded allegations that you are the father of a minor child.
• Birth mothers — We will help you take the right steps to establish paternity, so that you can seek child support, if necessary. We will also work with you to challenge assertions of paternity.
• Grandparents — If a child’s parents are unfit to provide the care they need, we can help grandparents establish paternity so that they can seek custody or visitation rights.

When you hire us to protect your rights in a paternity dispute, we will carefully walk you through the steps you should take to protect your interests, such as:

• Whether you should seek or submit to a DNA test
• Whether you should sign a birth certificate
• Other actions you can take to support or refute a finding that you are the father
