Burk, A Professional Corporation.

When children are involved, calm, reasoned judgment is especially important. Mr. Burk helps clients work out custody sharing arrangements that meet the needs of the children while serving the best interests of all involved parties.  He encourages clients to see divorce as the dissolution of a partnership (much like a business partnership) so that property and support issues can be handled without emotionally-clouded judgment. In every marriage dissolution case, the judge must weigh the facts, and cannot be swayed by emotion

Family law issues handled by the Law Office of Michael R. Burk, A Professional Corporation, include:

In matters related to property settlements, Mr. Burk often employs forensic accountants and specialized appraisers to ensure that property is correctly valued and all assets are identified. He encourages clients to take action when court orders, such as those for child support or child visitation, are not being followed. He is creative in developing mechanisms to enforce orders, including obtaining access to bank accounts, executing against assets, petitioning for an earnings assignment order, or asset deposit order, and drafting a petition for a contempt action, which can result in jail time. He urges clients to resort to public child support services, available in every California county.

In all areas related to divorce, Mr. Burk is committed to educating his clients about the divorce process, identifying the main contested issues, and focusing the discussion on the areas of true importance to the client. He has learned during his thirty years as a divorce and family law attorney that an informed client, able to focus on the matters of real importance, is the client most likely to achieve the desired results from a divorce action.  He does not hesitate to go to trial in divorce and related matters if litigation may result in a better outcome for his client.

For a family law attorney who understands what a difficult time this is for all concerned, contact the Law Office of Michael R. Burk, A Professional Corporation, for an appointment today. He knows how to handle the complex issues involved.
