The High Swartz Domestic Relations team knows that every case is different, and the people involved in these cases may feel vulnerable and overwhelmed. Each of us has focused our practice on Family Law and Domestic Relations because we, each for our own reasons, felt the need to pay attention to the more personal and human side of law. We don’t work on cases, we work with people. We know that there may often be several different but related issues happening at the same time in your life, and that understanding Pennsylvania’s legal requirements as they relate to your situation can be daunting.
