The FIrm
The FIrm
We represent people who value strength, courage, and old-school accountability. Forged in steel and trained for combat - we take on the high conflict cases most family lawyers avoid.
BUILT FOR BATTLE
we're not family lawyers - we're trial lawyers. We KNOW HOW TO WIN, AND WON’T BACK DOWN—EVER.
MARINE CORPS DISCIPLINE
Courage ... Discipline ... Determination. Forged in the Marine Corps, we move fast, act decisively, and command respect. Combat readiness isn’t an ambition; it’s in our DNA.
Forged by the Marines
TRADITIONAL VALUES
Preparing kids for life in the real world is a core value. We believe parents are best position to achieve this goal – not the government. We espouse old-fashioned values, patriotism and a return to common sense.
Rooted in conviction
TOUGH LOVE
We don’t sugar coat anything. We tell you what you need to hear – exactly the way you need to hear it – so you can smart decisions and avoid costly mistakes. If you want us to ride shotgun on a crazy train – you’re in the wrong place. Harsh reality might taste like a bitter pill. But we’d rather lose your business – than lose your case. We’re in this to win.
No B.S.
we clean up the mess your first lawyer made
When It’s Almost Too Late—We Step In
We’re the firm that gets called when the wheels are coming off. Whether your last attorney failed to prepare, caved, or got in way over their head—we excel in high-speed takeovers. No one does it better.
psychological warfare
Trial isn’t just facts and law. It’s performance, psychology, and persuasion. We know when to push, when to pivot, and how to deliver compelling arguments that stick. We've mastered the art of psychological warfare.
masters of evidence
Most lawyers memorize a few objections. We master the rules of evidence, rehearse courtroom strategy, and anticipate our opponent's tactics with precision. That’s how we stay sharp—and why we’re never surprised.
Step Into the Ring
You can't master the art of boxing reading books. To get good at fighting, and learn how to take a punch, you have to step into the ring. Same here. If our opponent isn't an elite talent and battle ready - we'll take their lunch money.

WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT
WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT
We're not your typical law firm. We're a special operations SWAT Team that takes over troubled cases when time is scarce and the stakes are high.
Master of One
generalists can't compete
1
We don’t dabble—we dominate. Even within family law, we're hyper-focused. No adoption, juvenille matters, probate, support enforcement, collaborative or uncontested divorce. We won't even help draft a prenup - despite being great at busting and defending them. The Shark represents clients in high-conflict divorce and custody matters - and nothing else.
Clearly Committed to Your Side
advice you can trust
2
Family lawyers all too often pressure clients to do a bad deal because they failed to prepare, lack confidence, or are easily intimidated. Never here. If a time comes to talk settlement, you can count on candid advice from us you can trust. When it comes to intimidation, we always claim home court advantage.
Always Prepared for Trial
SETTLING ISN’T THE SAME AS WINNING
3
Most lawyers push early-stage mediation and collaborative divorce because it's safe, fast and easy - for them. Not here. We chase meaningful outcomes - and often take over complex cases on the eve of trial. We don’t rush - we apply pressure, build leverage, and aggressively protect your interests. Because your long-term quality of life - depends on it.
