At the Law Offices of Jennifer J. Riley, our dedicated team of attorneys is committed to guiding clients through life's transitions. Whether you are going through a divorce, or are a parent seeking more substantial custody rights with your children, we personalize our legal service to your personal needs. We provide free consultations to help you learn your legal rights to help you make decisions.
Attorney Riley founded the Firm in 2013 with the intention to create a firm of unique attorneys and administrative staff members who genuinely care. She hires attorneys who are tough litigators, but who are also kind and compassionate and always first committed to helping their clients negotiate amicable settlements before resorting to litigation. Every case is treated with the same level of respect and attention, whether a divorce with complex property distribution, or a basic no-fault, no-asset divorce. The attorneys and staff at the Firm strive to provide high quality, compassionate legal services to all clients.
Facing divorce or another family law issue is tough. Does this sound like you? You’re frustrated, angry or confused. You face the uncertain prospect of what the future holds for your relationship with your children. You wonder how this will affect you financially. You’re concerned about the talk that will take place about you around the water cooler at work or among your circle of friends and family. Add to these feelings the anger you may feel toward your spouse or the other parent; the bitterness that replaced the once unconditional love that existed between you. The feeling of betrayal that now stays with you from the time you wake up in the morning until the time you go to bed at night. This confusion, anger and frustration can lead to poor decision-making during a time when every decision can have a huge impact on your future and the future of your relationship with your children. You are not alone if you have experienced these feelings or if you want to protect yourself from these experiences.
We know. We’ve been there, done that, and we can help you! Our attorneys understand the legal as well as the emotional and financial implications of a family law court case.
Our office has represented many high income, self employed business owners and/or professionals including sports figures with complex support and equitable distribution cases. We are well versed in the language of corporate compensation.
Some family law firms will not accept cases that involve child custody or other common family law issues. Our family law firm provides comprehensive legal advice for all Pennsylvania family law issues, including: divorce, equitable distribution of marital property and debts, spousal support, APL and alimony, prenuptial agreements, paternity and child support, child custody, step-parent adoption, and issues impacting LGBTQ couples and individuals.
Other family law firms may refuse to take on a case if there is the possibility that the case would not settle. Our divorce lawyers will not abandon you if your case is not resolved by a settlement agreement or consent order of court. Our family law attorneys are known for being experienced trial lawyers who are willing to take a case to trial if justice for our clients and their children requires such action. We believe that our skills as experienced family law trial attorneys in Montgomery County, Chester County, Bucks County and Delaware County encourage the opposing attorneys to offer fair settlement proposals that will allow for peaceful resolution of our clients’ cases in many situations.
Unless you have no assets, no debt, and no minor children, you may end up giving away much more than you are legally obligated to. Hiring the wrong attorney or law firm can cause you to incur unnecessary costs. Our office employs junior associates, paralegals and law school clerks to help our senior attorneys manage clients’ cases at affordable rates.
The Law Offices of Jennifer J. Riley has endeavored to hire a strong support staff, each of whom is dedicated to helping you throughout the process by always providing outstanding client services. Our team becomes your team as you make your way through the process. We are proud of the relationships we build with our clients.
