 Divorce & Family LawYou need an attorney whose advice you trust, who will answer your questions and will take your telephone calls personally. You should feel free to call us to schedule a consultation to ask us questions regarding the following areas:
An effective family lawyer must know how to fight aggressively for you, but must also have the diplomatic skills to successfully negotiate when that is in your best interest and, an effective family lawyer must have the wisdom to know the difference. Our clients know that we have the right balance. Because many family matters involve divorce actions and criminal allegations, New York Courts have established IDV ("Integrated Domestic Violence") courtrooms which address all of these matters together. Our firm is uniquely positioned to handle these cases because our attorneys have extensive experience in both family law and in criminal law. If your spouse has abducted your child, call us so that we may immediately take the appropriate legal actions in either Federal or State Court, contact the Department of State in Washington, D.C., and assist you in finding local counsel in the foreign jurisdiction (if necessary). International child abduction cases require a lot of close coordination between law firms in order to succeed. We have worked closely with foreign law firms, foreign governments and the U.S. State Department bringing about the return of abducted children from foreign countries to their home in the United States. We are well versed in the Hague Convention which addresses issues of International Child Abduction. BENJAMIN & VASILATOS,
