Developing Relationships with Our Clients

At the Law Offices of Elliot Heidelberger, we build long-term relationships with our clients. Many of the issues associated with divorce such as child support, child custody and visitation, alimony and spousal maintenance, financial planning, allocation of business interests, and removal of children to another state may continue after the divorce is final. We believe that the trust and respect we earn from our clients while dealing with marital and non-marital property, orders of protection, and paternity issues during the proceedings gives them the best possible opportunity for optimal results. As a result, many of our clients return to have us represent them if issues arise following the entry of the final order in their case.
