Services
Our adoption services are designed to help families move through the legal process with confidence and clarity. We work with many types of adoptions, from agency placements to family-member and stepparent adoptions. We explain every requirement and document involved. Throughout the process, we help minimize delays and keep families informed about each step.
Divorce often involves unfamiliar legal requirements and significant life changes, and we are committed to guiding clients through each stage. We draw on our experience to anticipate obstacles and reduce unnecessary delays. Our practice encourages productive negotiation and mediation as effective methods of resolution. In cases where those options are unsuitable, we pursue litigation when necessary.
We are committed to advocating for parents seeking meaningful involvement in their children's lives during custody proceedings. Child custody matters often involve complex and sensitive issues that require careful attention. Our team provides consistent legal support while addressing the full scope of custody-related concerns. Because no two disputes are alike, we tailor our services to each client's individual situation.
We offer mediation as an effective option for addressing divorce and family law disputes. Our team understands the burden that these legal matters can place on families, both emotionally and financially. By pursuing resolution outside the courtroom, we help clients move forward constructively. Mediation commonly minimizes disputes and provides a more economical alternative to litigation.

I had a child support issue that I was getting conflicting information on from different sources including another family attorney.
Amber Shemesh knew exactly which action we needed to take. With the help of Amber as well as Alexia, we got my issue resolved quickly and correctly. Can't thank them and recommend them enough!

I highly recommend Ms. Shemesh ESQ. Ms. Shemesh has nine years experience in the field of family law and has managed to maintain a five star avvo rating. She is highly esteemed and recognized in her field because she is professional, reliable, organized, devoted and trustworthy. This is a woman who has worked hard to establish herself in her career and built a solid, reputable practice. Familiarize yourself well with the true facts before you believe unsubstantiated negative reviews. no conviction without due process.

Ms. Shemesh has maintained a 5-star Avvo rating over the course of 9 years practicing law. The fact that a sudden influx of negative reviews is stemming from misinformation regarding an ongoing case shows the lack of proper education in those whom are leaving said reviews. Do your research before attempting to harm someone’s business, or better yet further harming the child involved by spreading information that isn’t accurate.
