Our Services

  • If you are considering divorce, there will be many questions going through your mind. Are you doing the right thing? What about the children? Can you make it on your own? The advice of an experienced lawyer can make a significant difference as you deal with these difficult issues.

  • At Greenwich Law Group, LLC, we believe that every child deserves to be treated with care and respect. In any divorce, we work to support our clients’ relationships with their children as their families transition into a new phase of life.

  • You and your spouse or partner may wish to use mediation to dissolve your marriage, plan for your children’s care, or resolve post-decree issues in a less contentious and less public atmosphere than that of a courtroom. The assistance of a trained, neutral mediator may help you arrive at a settlement agreement. All the attorneys of Greenwich Law Group are certified mediators who both mediate disputes for parties as well as represent and advise our own clients who use mediation to resolve their matters .

  • Collaborative law is an interdisciplinary approach to dispute resolution designed to faciliate people’s creative and flexible agreements to the complex personal matters of families living in separate homes. Although the legal system can be a necessary tool, many families find that they can achieve more of their goals and minimize their concerns by working in the structured and forthright negotiations of the collaborative process. All the attorneys of Greenwich Law Group are certified Collabortive Divorce Professionals.

  • “Until death do us part.” Though still a part of most marriage ceremonies, these days those words, unfortunately, may not ring true. Nowadays, people often do not marry until their 30s, having children and accummulating assets before they walk down the aisle. Like insurance policies that protect people from the worst effects of accidents, prenuptial and postnuptial agreements can help protect assets for children and create plans for how to divide property in the event of a divorce.

  • A life-changing event in your family — such as the birth or adoption of a child, a divorce, a medical diagnosis, or even starting a new lucrative job — is a good reason to create an estate plan or modify your existing estate plan to ensure that it reflects your current wishes and family circumstances. A well crafted plan can determine who will care for your children if you’re not here, provide for your family’s welfare, and simplify the legal costs and work associated with your passing.

  • Although unmarried couples increasingly have children together, the law does not have the same “default rules” for those families as it does for children born to parents who are married to each other. Establishing parentage is an important step in your child’s future, as well as the future of the other parent. It not only determines the financial support for your child, but it also creates a plan for your child’s relationship with the other parent.

  • Unfortunately, violence in relationships comes in many different forms, from physical to verbal to emotional and even to financial. Anyone can be a domestic violence victim regardless of their gender, physical size, or age. An order of protection can help create a safer environment for you and your children.

My experience with Greenwich Law Group, LLC was outstanding! I found myself at ease with the way attorney Jessica Malmquist handled my international child support case. She was clear, fair and detailed during my court process…
