The Pandemic Made Me Do It: 2020 Kristen D. Hofheimer Memorial Scholarship I’ve said it a couple of times lately: In recent weeks, I’ve understood how some bigger events – like the Great Depression and the World Wars – could really shape a person.

This, though, is like nothing I – and, really, anyone else – has ever experienced before. Entire … [Read more...]

Custody Bootcamp for Moms Scholarship Program
Since we represent women exclusively, we get lots of questions from women asking us to help them with their divorce and custody cases.
