Family Law
We handle cases so as to attain the best possible resolution for you and your family, while mitigating the stress family law often accompanies.
Divorce
Divorce often brings out the worst in people, but it does not have to. When you begin the process of ending your marriage, the best and most efficient decision you can make is hiring a competent and compassionate attorney.
Alimony
Divorce is disruptive, destabilizing, upsetting, and emotionally challenging enough without having to worry about the security of your financial future.
Child Custody
When a couple decides to divorce, children must factor into the equation. At Dame Legal, we work with our clients to establish the best course of action for co-parenting after a divorce.

Personal Injury
When a party is injured so severely they are left with a permanent disability, disfigurement, or loss of income, they may be entitled to compensation.
Slip & Fall
Serious injury from a slip and fall accident can leave accident victims out of work, with a loss of income, and in some cases, permeant disability or disfigurement.
Vehicle Accidents
Vehicle accidents can leave their victims with injuries, massive medical bills, damaged property, vehicle repairs, and even long-term psychological trauma.
Workers Compensation
Among the foremost union victories in the 20th century, access to workers’ compensation is the right of every worker injured in a work-related event. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, worker injuries happen every single day.

Criminal Defense
We believe that everyone is entitled to competent, compassionate, and effective legal representation—no matter the crime they are accused.
Domestic Violence
Whether you feel you have been unnecessarily accused, arrested for domestic violence charges, or have had your rights limited as a result, the Dame Legal team will expertly guide you through the process of divorce and defense when domestic violence accusations are embedded.
Mediation
No case is too big or too small for mediation as long as all parties involved remain committed to a thoughtful and communicative process that takes everyone’s best interests to heart.
DUI
If you are seeking respected representation so that when you go to court, the prosecution and judges know that you are taking your case seriously and won’t settle for anything but the best outcome, we are the law firm for you.

Testimonials
CLIENTS APPRECIATE US
From the time I walked in I realized I had found the right attorneys for me.
Shelley and her team got me my child back from a non-Hague country. She was there at the worse time in my life for tears on her shoulder and there in the best time in my life when she hugged my daughter as she got off of the plane.
Ron knew the value of my case, when to fight, what to say and how to say it. He got me ten times more then I thought I would receive.
Patrick and I went to trial on my matter. Only on T.V. have I ever seen someone with as much command of the courtroom, respect of the Judge, and the ability to get through to the Jury.
Marilyn is the best Family attorney in the State. That is all you need to know.
I never felt like a commodity. I was part of the team.
Pat settled my case and I was set for the rest of my life.
I was facing the best years of my life incarcerated. Shelley was there for me and my family the entire time. When we got a not-guilty verdict and I told her “you did it,” Shelley shot back with a “WE DID IT !”
Don’t be taken back by Amanda’s youth. She has the wisdom of George Washington and the wit of George Carlin.
The best thing I can say about Paul is beware the quiet ones. His knowledge of the law outwits all of his adversaries.
I would like to thank you for your superior and knowledgeable service. This was my first time being in a traffic incident of any type. Your pleasant, polite and reassuring voice really put me at ease.

In my experience, Ronald Dario and his ESQ have been amazing since day one. He listens carefully and asks questions to understand and be familiar with the situation. This is my second time using this ESQ.Posted on Google![]()

We were scheduled to close on our house with another attorney and due to unforeseen circumstances, our case was transferred to Kohar Boyadjian. She came up to speed immediately on our case, and handled every detail thoroughly and professionally, allowing us to close within our short window! Kohar responded to all our phone calls and emails very quickly and remained in constant communication with us. Our closing went extremely smooth thanks to her! We cannot praise her enough and highly recommend Kohar for anyone looking for a great attorney.Posted on Google![]()
