Manhattan Legal Services Family Law Practice focuses on family preservation where feasible, and dignity for our clients and their children.

We help victims of domestic violence obtain orders of protection and other relief. We prepare guadianships or adoptions for dependent children. Our matrimonial work includes divorces, separation agreements, annulments, child custody and child support claims. We represent parents in abuse and neglect cases and at termination of parental rights proceedings. By helping stabilize families in distress, we not only help those families, we also avert the public cost of expensive foster care.
