Divorce and family law issues are difficult to navigate without the use of skilled legal counsel. As the child of divorced parents, and having initiated her own divorce, Adelola understands the importance of counseling men and fathers on methods they can use to move their divorce along, get a fair deal, while not negatively impacting their children or their dignity. She also understands the fear that often comes by engaging in this foreign process, recognize that with knowledge comes power, and harness both to help her clients turn that fear into power while they navigate through this process.
Trained Certified Financial Litigator
Adelola founded her practice to bring integrity to the practice of divorce law in a time when mistrust of divorce lawyers and the matrimonial (divorce) law system is at an all-time high. Adelola’s practice focuses upon representing divorcing men, which enables her team to facilitate your journey through a process where men often feel that the odds are stacked against them. The training she received as a law clerk and law secretary (Judge’s Personal Attorney) to two divorce/family law judges has given her a unique understanding of the way judges make decisions in family law matters. Our team takes pride in providing teaching-based representation so that you understand the law and the way it will work in your case. It is that knowledge which we will use to turn your fear of the divorce process into your power as we work together to protect your legal interests and the best interests of your children.
If you aren’t yet married and you want to protect your assets in the event of a divorce, or if you have rekindled a marriage and want to limit the legal arguments you would have in the event of an eventual divorce, we will help you craft an agreement which fairly and properly protects your assets and those of your children.
While most cases settle without going to trial, it is important to hire an attorney who can litigate your matter in the event a trial becomes necessary. Skilled litigators can advise you about whether your case has the potential to be litigated and about ways to avoid trial if that is possible. Approximately 10% of cases go to trial. If your case is one of the 10%, we are here to help.
Adelola is an adept litigator; but she also knows that it is important to hire an attorney who can assess when your interests can be better served with non-litigation tactics, such as collaborative law and mediation. As a trained collaborative divorce lawyer and New York mediator (who is training as a R.1:40 Mediator in the State New Jersey), she can help you to navigate the waters of divorce without the cost and emotional expense of litigation.
