Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Family Law Attorney

Divorce, custody, division of property, protection from abuse, support: these are issues that push deep to the core of our lives. If you are dealing with these issues in your life, my goal as a family law attorney is to move you through this difficult period as quickly and painlessly as the legal process will allow.

I'm Lee A. Schwartz, a lawyer in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, who serves the five-county Philadelphia region. Since 1981, Family Law and Domestic Relations have been the vast majority of my practice. Some of these issues will be negotiated and settled and others resolved by a judge.

Whether your family law case is amicably settled or there is a vigorous trial, my philosophy is simple: to provide you with the legal advice and support you need in order to make sound, educated decisions that will prepare you for your future. Contact me to discuss your needs.

I began my legal career as a litigation lawyer. As a result, I gained a substantial amount of heavy trial experience, which is rare for a family law attorney. While most Pennsylvania divorce cases settle out of court, it's important to have a lawyer who is an experienced litigator for those cases that must go to trial.

I also have a strong mediation background, which enables me to focus on ways you can settle your own divorce without having a judge tell you how to divide your assets or how often you can see your children. The American Arbitration Association trained me as an arbitrator. These alternative methods of dispute resolution allow you to take control in a divorce, and may save you considerable time and money.

Whether it is litigation or mediation you choose, I am ready and available to help you resolve your family law and divorce concerns. For more information or to discuss your case, call me, Philadelphia family law attorney Lee A. Schwartz, at 215-268-7814 or 866-605-6854 (Toll-Free), or contact me online. I am associated with the Spear Wilderman Law Firm.
