Law Office of Jones & Roach

Mental health professionals tell us that the emotional harm caused by divorce is second only to the death of a close loved one. Going through a divorce without a skilled advocate can make the emotional turmoil even worse. If you are faced with the unpleasant experience of participating in a family law case (or if you have friends or family going through such a case) feel free to call me for a free consultation. I have over 24 years of experience handling all aspects of family law and I am certified as a specialist in family law by the California State Bar Board of Legal Specialization. I am a graduate of the advanced family law trial institute and have served as a temporary family law Judge, which has given me a unique experience that benefits my clients. I can be reached directly at 714-488-3068.

Spousal support and child support issues continue to be modifiable after a divorce is finalized. Support orders can be increased or decreased based on a number of factors. The most important factor is changes in the incomes of the parties. If anyone is considering a change in their support orders feel free to give me a call. The consultation is always free.

I have worked in the area of family law practice for over 25 years. If you know someone who is in need of representation, have them give me a call. The first consultation is always free and they will get all their questions answered. Family law (divorce, domestic violence, child and spousal support, etc.) is my area of expertise. Your referral is always welcome.

Don’t be silent in the face of domestic violence. No one deserves to be the victim of violence. It is never o.k.!!! Protect yourself and, if necessary, your children. Silence will often result in greater levels of abuse and, in some instances, serious injury or death. Take domestic seriously!!!

Family law matters can be very difficult to navigate on your own. It is always best, when possible, to hire an experienced family law attorney to represent you. I have been practicing family law, exclusively, since 1995. I am a certified specialist with the California Bar Board of Legal Specialization. If you, or someone you know, is in need of family law representation, please do not hesitate to call me. And I will definately take care of those friends and family members that you refer to me.

Part of being a family law attorney is protecting men and women from being the victim of domestic violence. The court can issue temporary restraining orders very quickly with little or no notice to the other party. A family law attorney is also involved in the protection of those wrongfully accused of domestic violence. Important rights can be taken from a person who is found to be a domestic violence offender. It is very important to be represented by experienced legal counsel, whether you are in need of a restraining order or you have been wrongfully accused of domestic violence. I have been working on domestic violence cases for 23 years. If you, a friend or a family member is in need of legal representation in connection with a domestic violence matter, have them give me a call. They will be glad they did.

Child custody and child support issues are not limited to divorce cases. When parents have a child outside of a marital relationship, those same issues need to be addressed. I have successfully guided parents facing these issues for over 23 years. If you know someone who find themselves facing these important issue, have them give me a call. They will be glad they did. My client base is 95 percent referral based. Thank you to all my Facebook friends for entrusting me with your family law needs.

I want to thank all of my Facebook friends, as well as my current and former clients, for the confidence you have expressed in me. I count it a privilege to have the opportunity to guide folks through the difficulties experienced while going through divorce, legal separation, and paternity cases. I am proud to say that 95 percent of all my client’s have come to me by a referral from former clients and fellow attorneys. If you have a friend or loved one that needs experienced family law representation, I am here to help. My initial consultation is always free.

For parties,who have had the unfortunate experience of going through a divorce, it is important to be aware that certain orders may be modified years after the case is finalized. Orders made for spousal support, child support, child custody and visitation are all modifiable. Typically, there needs to be a change in circumstances which justifies a modification. For example, one party may lose their job. A party may obtain employment making significantly more money than they earned at the time support orders were made. If you know someone who is considering pursuing a change in their court orders it is important that they consult with an attorney who practices family law. Have them give me a call. The consultation is always free.

If you simply forget to address an issue such as medical or credit card debt or if you underestimate or overestimate the value of an asset, you can make a significant mistake in a divorce proceeding. Having a lawyer on board helps these kinds of issues to be avoided.

Hello Facebook friends. Thank you for your continued confidence in my legal services. It is an honor and pleasure to represent all those individuals who you have entrusted to me as referrals.

When you’re considering a divorce in the case of an abusive relationship, an attorney can sometimes offer you advice that will help you prepare for the big break. They also may have connections to help you find services that you may need.

Going through a divorce or legal separation case can be very expensive. It is important to have an attorney that is ethical and honest in his/her billing practices. It is also important to have an attorney that is intentional about trying to keep the costs of litigation at a minimum. In my 22 years as an attorney I can honestly say that the fees I charge to my client are always less than that of my opposition. I charge less, while not compromising the quality of my work. Thank you everyone for your referral business.

To all my clients, potential clients and Facebook friends, I want to thank you for your business and the referral of business. My office receives 100 percent of all new clients from referrals.

Why would you ever consider a legal morass like divorce without having the support of the best attorney you can find? After all, there is a lot at risk and a good attorney is your best defense against that risk.

Even the simplest divorce cases can include complex issues that make the presence of a family law attorney a necessity. For example, your spouse has agreed to pay monthly support, but do you know to insist on disability and life insurance policies? That way, the support payments aren’t interrupted if your spouse is injured or killed.

Once you select a divorce attorney, it's important to establish the ground rules and make sure you're both on the same page. Ask your lawyer what he expects from you, and let him know what you expect from him.

The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled it unconstitutional for a court to consider race when a non-custodial parent petitions for a change of custody. Essentially, this cannot be the basis for any legal custody decision.

What is the difference between physical and legal child custody? Physical custody legally refers to where the child currently lives. Legal custody refers to the everyday decisions which affect the child’s life such as curfew rules or schooling choices.

We recognize that some spouses can turn vengeful and use spousal or child support as a way to get even with their partner. Let’s talk about the nature of your marriage and the circumstances that led to your divorce so that we can help you keep things as fair as possible.

One of the first things you should do once you've decided on a divorce is to contact a divorce attorney. You need someone who can file the legal documents and offer advice about bank accounts and other important issues.
