Whether it is a B, E, F, H-1B, H-2A, H-2B, J, K, L-1A&B, O, P, R, V visas or TN NAFTA visa, the PERM alien labor certification process, legal permanent residency, consular processing, naturalization or removal/deportation matter, Attorney Maiona will make certain that you have knowledgeable and practical advice to help you resolve your immigration matter.

If you are separated or considering pursuing divorce from your spouse, it is critical to know that your initial actions and decisions could not only dramatically affect the outcome of your divorce but also your financial and emotional future. Division of property, alimony, child support, custody and visitation are a number of factors that are often decided on a temporary basis at the very beginning of a separation or divorce. These 'temporary' results are often the basis for the final or permanent orders. Only with representation by counsel that specializes in the field of Family Law, can you be sure that these decisions will be made with the foresight and knowledge of an experienced professional.

Child related issues are complex and serious. Decisions about child support, childcare, and educational expenses for example must not be made without careful consideration of long-range implications and impacts, both on the child and yourself. While the child's best interests must always be considered first, your emotional and financial well being must be stable in order to best provide for that child in the present and the future. There are no more difficult decisions to make than those that involve the care and custody of your child, whether it is in a divorce or paternity action. Representation by an experienced Family Law attorney is the only way to ensure the best possible scenario for both you and your child.

Likewise, if you are considering Adoption or are involved in a Guardianship issue, only an experienced Family Law attorney can best navigate the complexities and concerns of the Probate & Family Courts. These issues, similar to divorce and paternity issues, often involve deep emotional investment by the concerned parties. It is during these times, when emotions run high, that the service of a Family Law attorney is invaluable. The Family Law attorney uses the Probate and Family Courts every day and understands the personal as well as legal factors people encounter in these situations.

Any of the situations described above involve a time of relative crisis in a persons lifetime. At such a time it is important to have the assistance of a Family Law attorney who is able to not only protect your legal interests, but also seek a solution that is sensitive to your needs and wishes. The Probate & Family Court system is an intense and often overwhelming forum. If you find yourself involved in this system, you should retain the services of a Family Law attorney immediately.
