Case Evaluation Form

One of the fears that many people have about divorce is that they will have to go to court. The truth is, very few divorces end up with a trial. Our lawyers resolve the vast majority of cases through negotiation, mediation, and marital settlement agreements. If the parties disagree about one or two issues, we may litigate those issues in family court. However, in these court appearances, your lawyer will be by your side and do most of the talking for you.

There are many myths about divorce that people have heard from family members, co-workers, and friends. At The Law Office of Patricia M. McKinnie in San Jose, California, our lawyers will dispel the myths and help you understand your rights and responsibilities under California law. We serve clients who either reside in Santa Clara County or whose spouse or partner resides in Santa Clara County.

Many of the people who are going through a divorce are hurt and sometimes angry. As lawyers, we spend a lot of time counseling our clients and explaining California divorce law and how it applies to them. By explaining the law, we can help people understand the process they are going through.
