Our Focus. On You.


We are sad to announce that our founding partner, Wilma E. Presley, passed away on December 17, 2020. She will be missed.


Practical Help With Divorce, Custody, and Support Matters

Divorce and family law issues can be painful and stressful. These problems can sap your energy and leave you feeling angry and depressed.

Our firm understands the difficulties you may be experiencing if you are going through a divorce or you need help with a legal matter related to child custody, child support, property division or spousal support. We are qualified to help you get through your legal challenge with as little damage as possible.


Practicing Exclusively Family Law for Decades

Family Law is all we do. Catherine M. Goodrow is a Family Law Specialist Certified by the State of California Board of Legal Specialization. If we represent you, your case will be handled by a highly focused practitioner with decades of relevant experience.


Finding Creative Solutions To Complex Problems

We don’t need to tell you that divorces and family law cases are complicated. We do need to tell you that any divorce case can be handled in more than one way. The law allows space for creativity in settling divorces; it does not require you to fight your spouse in court or live in acrimony with your ex.
