Family Law with a Team Approach


EXPLAINED BY THE ATTORNEYS OF PAULE, CAMAZINE & BLUMENTHAL, PC


How do you stand out from other law firms in the courtroom? Our
attorneys are unafraid to walk into court for trial. While most cases
settle, if there is no chance of settlement, our experience in the court-
room is invaluable.
While we do not always think the same or use the same strategy,
each of us has the priority of giving our clients the best counsel
according to their individual situations. That often means being agents
of reality for our clients. Many attorneys fight for what their client wants
even if they know it’s not realistic. We think that is a disservice to the
client. Overall, our goal as a firm is to provide the best, most effec-
tive legal representation, and our team approach allows us to do so.

What makes family law at Paule, Camazine & Blumenthal, P.C. unique?
We have 13 family law attorneys and 17 attorneys in other areas of the
law that allow us to match each problem with the professionals best
equipped to craft the solution, whether through trial, negotiation, or
mediation. Because our firm is a full-service law firm, our family law
attorneys have immediate access to attorneys knowledgeable and
experienced in many different areas of the law, including corporate,
tax, and estate planning. That is not something most other firms have
at their disposal.
Because of the issues we tackle for clients, we have the opportunity
to observe experts in accounting or business valuation on a regular
basis, which gives us a great opportunity to gain a deep understanding
of their processes. Gaining that familiarity is a tremendous asset to
our clients. Using a team approach to our cases allows us to discuss
different strategies and tactics tailored to each client’s needs. There
is no ‘one size fits all’ approach in family law. Each case and each
family are unique.


What do your attorneys pride themselves on? Taking the time to listen,
strategize, and offer creative approaches and options to resolving
each case. We are often available at night and on weekends to meet
our clients’ needs. The different strengths each attorney has allows
our collaboration on cases to be very effective. It is important for our
clients to know as much about their case as we do, and it’s just as
important for them to know we care.


What is “family law”? “Family law” at PCB means more than just
divorces. We also handle modifications of judgments, orders of pro-
tection, contempt actions, and paternity matters, as well as assisted
reproduction issues like surrogacy.
