The family law attorneys at Kaufman Steinberg have seen family problems from a wide variety of angles. We understand how difficult family disputes can be, and we want to help you put the past behind you.

We pride ourselves in our exclusive focus on family law practice, the personal service we provide our clients, our record of achieving successful outcomes, and our ability to secure our clients’ financial futures and their children. It is our goal to serve you with the utmost integrity and caring.
We represent clients in the entire range of family law cases, from straightforward cases where the parties remain on good terms to complex, highly contested cases where substantial assets, income, business ownership, or child custody are in dispute. We can resolve family law issues in a way that makes sense for both you and your family, and we work to do so efficiently and cost-effectively.

Divorce Mediation
Our divorce mediation service provides a cost-effective way for separating couples with children or those who have significant assets or income. We also offer family law mediation services for unmarried couples who want to avoid the high cost of family court litigation.
Spousal Support (Alimony)
Our family lawyers represent clients in short-term and long-term spousal support cases involving fixed or periodic payments made from one spouse to another.

“Jordon Steinberg is a man of the highest integrity who’s work ethic and professionalism is impeccable. His ability to be empathetic and instill compassion during a time of total despair, was the force that gave me strength and hope. My first contact with Jordon was in 2008 and my first impressions of him were: honest, non-judgmental, sincere. At no time did I feel pressure or uncomfortable and in 2014 when I was ready to proceed, Jordon was the one I contacted. Jordon and his team provided me with the legal guidance and support I needed to persevere and move forward during an extremely difficult time. His knowledge of family law surpasses all others and his support staff is stellar. They played an integral part in keeping the lines of communication open at all times, no matter what. Jordon’s patience and caring demeanor are what guided me through the steps and process of divorce and was the glue that held me together. I could not and would not be where I am today without Jordon. I have no words for someone who believed in me when nobody else would. I will be forever grateful.”
