Using Private Judges
Our firm makes frequent use of private judges in family law cases. This can bypass crowded court calendars and help achieve results in a timely manner. A private judge and court venue can also maintain the privacy of clients and the confidentiality of their legal matters. Typically, interim and status hearings can be conducted by conference call.
