Welcome to the i-home of the Swanson legal team! Our Senior Partner, Cynthia Swanson, has been practicing law for more than 25 years, and our paralegals have a combined total of 35 years of legal experience. We represent families and individuals going through difficult transition periods in their lives, which are usually associated with divorce or the death of a loved one. We utilize our experience and competence in family law and estate and probate law matters to help our clients obtain the best possible results in their personal situations. We want to be "constructive advocates" for our clients, helping them to achieve security, financial stability and family peace.
One area of speciality for our team is family law. This area ranges from the preparation of a prenuptial agreement before a marriage to post-dissolution of marriage enforcement and modification actions. It can include child custody and visitation issues; alimony, child support, and family support during a divorce; as well as the identification, valuation and distribution of marital assets and debts. We also handle appeals of family law matters.
We also specialize in estate planning for individuals who do not need complex tax planning, and we handle the probate of estates ranging from straightforward summary administrations to complex probate litigation and will contests.
We are also very happy to handle all types of adoption matters. We have experience in family adoptions, private adoptions of newborns, step-parent adoptions, and the finalization of adoptions of children placed via the Department of Children and Famillies, as well as children adopted from foreign countries.
For all of these matters, we employ a team approach, designed to provide the highest level of integrity, competence, professionalism and concern for our clients' needs. We know just how stressful family law and probate matters can be. We understand that our clients' life changes are what prompt them to contact an attorney, and we do our best to help them through what is often one of the most difficult events in their lives. While we handle our cases expeditiously and with the utmost professional attention, we also take into consideration the fact that our clients need for us to understand what they are going through, and we employ respectful, helpful and empathetic team members.
