Family Law

The prospect of a looming divorce is extremely difficult to process and cope with, especially without help. Obtaining legal help early is important to help avoid a lot of common errors. Going through the process is difficult enough without having to also navigate the court system. Even if you have no children, having the assistance of an attorney can be a great relief. Whether you need to file for Divorce (Dissolution), Legal Separation or enter into a Custody/Visitation agreement, Leonora Gorelik can guide you through the process with understanding, compassion and knowledge you would want from your attorney. Ms. Gorelik can help you obtain temporary orders for child/spousal support quickly, when appropriate. Additionally, Ms. Gorelik can help you initiate a Paternity action and apply for child/spousal support. Additionally, Ms. Gorelik can help you with pre-nuptial and post-nuptial agreement.

Reasonable Prices

Leonora Gorelik understands that this is a difficult time, not just emotionally, but financially as well. She has volunteered extensively with the Harriett Buhai Family Law Center assisting low-income individuals and therefore understands how to help people on the budget get through this trying time. If you absolutely cannot afford to pay for legal help, she may be able to refer you to a Legal Aid Organization. However, if you need special attention or don’t qualify for free legal help, she can provide legal services that are reasonably priced.

While it may seem like your only option is handling your divorce proceedings on your own, it is rarely advisable and could cost more than what you intend to “save” in the end. Many times it will end up costing more to try to handle your divorce on your own or through a document mill.

Please consider your options carefully. Ms. Gorelik will be happy to meet with you for a no-cost/obligation consultation to discuss your matter confidentially.
