Family Law & Domestic Violence
JALA provides representation in family law and domestic violence cases in several areas to promote the integrity, safety, and economic stability of the family.
The areas we handle are listed to the right. Please note that as much as we would like to help every client who applies for our services, we cannot accept every case due to limited resources. Case acceptance will depend on the circumstances of each case, whether all eligibility criteria are met, and staff availability. On the other hand, if you do not see your legal problem listed, it does not mean we will not consider your case. We are always interested in learning about new and different issues affecting our community.
If you have been referred to our website because JALA is unable to accept your Family Law case, please click here for Family Law issue self-help information.
