Family Law
Our Family Law Group provides client-centered service in every interaction by putting time and personalized attention into each case. We understand that family law issues are delicate and stressful, so we work to understand each client’s unique situation, providing strategic counsel with compassion to come to a positive resolution.
Cohen Seglias’ Family Law Group is dedicated to offering personalized and comprehensive legal services tailored to meet the unique challenges our clients face. We understand that family law issues are often complex and deeply emotional, which is why we offer a full range of solutions personalized to the needs of our clients.
Our experienced team handles all facets of family law, including divorce, child custody, alimony, and the equitable distribution of assets and debts. While our priority is to resolve disputes through negotiation and collaboration, we are fully prepared to litigate when necessary.
Beyond our litigation experience, several of our attorneys are trained in alternate dispute resolution as mediators, arbitrators, and parent coordinators. These specialized skills allow us to offer alternative resolution paths outside the courtroom. We are passionate about finding constructive, efficient solutions that enable our clients to move forward positively. Alternate dispute resolution (ADR) allows this to happen in a way that helps preserve family dynamics and offers privacy and quicker resolution.

- Alimony
- Appeals
- Child custody, including interstate and international relocation
- Child support
- College contribution
- Divorce

- Emancipation
- Equitable distribution of assets, including bank accounts, pensions, 401ks, real estate, deferred compensation, restricted stock units, stock options, etc.

- Property settlement agreements
- Asset and debt distribution for unmarried parties
- Post-judgment matters, including enforcement and modification of parenting time, custody, support, and substantial change in circumstances
- Post-mediation representation, including reviewing or drafting property settlement agreements
We are a full-service family law group prepared to address even the most challenging legal issues with professionalism and care. Whether through collaborative efforts, mediation, arbitration, or courtroom advocacy, our mission is to protect our client’s interests.
Our attorneys are also familiar with the criminal defense process and municipal court issues including assault, bias crimes, burglary, theft, juvenile law, possession and distribution of drugs or drug paraphernalia, possession of weapons, sexual offenses, child abuse or neglect, domestic violent expungements, driver’s license suspensions, as well as DWI/DUI.
We take a holistic approach to help clients navigate investigations, the grand jury processes, and trial presentations.
If trial is necessary, our team is prepared to present a full-fledged defense, including the filing of motions, utilizing expert witnesses, and conducting an independent investigation.
