The Duenow Law Office
We specialize in family law, serving San Luis Obispo, Paso Robles and the entire Central Coast. We possess a high degree of knowledge in accounting, finance and complex business litigation. We use this knowledge to avoid common issues that needlessly increase time and money spent in the courtroom on family law disputes.
Despite the frustration and disagreements that have brought family law issues into your life, your legal proceedings do not have to be contentious. Rather than approaching your matter as a win-lose situation, we take a more evenhanded approach that is based on decades of experience and a reputation for success. We will help you resolve your matter with acumen and discretion.
In today’s world, the traditional family is ever changing. The concept of “family” can mean many different things and can cause very unique circumstances to arise. However, even unconventional families can face issues where they need the assistance of a family law attorney.
Our office personalizes the representation we provide to your unique situation. We take time to address your individual concerns. These concerns may include questions of paternity or partnerships that do not necessarily fall under the same law as traditional marriages (domestic partnerships or same-sex marriages). In every case, we will work with you to determine the most cost-effective and efficient methods for settling your disputes in the legal realm to help you move on with your life.
Our practice areas include:
- Divorce and marital dissolution
- Child custody, including joint custody, physical custody, legal custody and visitation
- Child support
- Parentage and paternity
- Spousal support or alimony
- Division of property and assets
- Division of debts
- Domestic partnerships and same-sex marriages
- Domestic violence and restraining orders
Legal decisions you make now can affect your life for years to come. This is why we respond to our clients promptly, keeping them informed of the legal process, and recommending solutions that are based on years of experience in working with area courts and judges.
While in some instances, rigorous courtroom defense is necessary, we strongly encourage our clients to use mediation to settle disputes whenever possible. Mediation can not only save you time and money, it can also help you retain control over the outcome of your case.
Attorney Christopher Duenow and his team look forward to helping you resolve your family legal matter.
