FAMILY LAW SERVICES

FAMILY LAW LITIGATION SERVICES

We offer representation in all family law matters including divorce, legal separation, custody, spousal support, child support, judgment enforcement, asset division, retirement division, and domestic violence. We focus our practice on providing full supportive services to clients when they need us most. Every case is unique just as every family is unique.  

Ms. Russo also acts as a consultant in family law cases, particularly Solano County cases, where she can advise clients or their counsel without taking on full representation services. Contact us to learn more about our consulting services. 

It is our goal to keep our client list small to ensure availability to our active clients. While we will try to help with emergencies if we are able, you may have to wait for an appointment. Please know that this is how we ensure that our existing clients needs are met. 

mediation SERVICES

Attorney Sarah Russo offers experienced and compassionate mediation services throughout the State of California in family law matters. This includes custody mediation as well as divorce mediation.  Ms. Russo has experience working with families in transition and helping them solve their problems in a way that works for everyone. She is experienced working with children, including special needs children, and brings this experience to her mediation practice. 

What sets Ms. Russo apart as a mediator is that she sets firm boundaries in her sessions.  You will not have to spend an hour listening to your spouse's marital grievances. She will not permit a controlling or hostile spouse to dominate the space. Mediation requires trust, compassion, fairness, and firm guidelines. 

Not every case is right for a mediated settlement. Cases involving serious domestic violence, drug or alcohol abuse, child abuse, hidden assets, or dishonesty are often not good candidates for mediation. There is an exception to every rule - but both parties must feel safe and heard for the process to be successful.
