A CARING MARIN COUNTY ATTORNEY FOR LIFE'S TOUGHEST MOMENTS

Firm Overview

Even the fortunate are not immune to life's reversals, be they financial, personal or legal. Successful lives can be disrupted by sudden fluctuations that leave us feeling displaced. These are the moments we most need a concerned advocate we can trust. With 18 years of experience, Ron Champoux is a knowledgeable lawyer, ready to assist with a variety of important legal issues:

-Assistance in Family Law Disputes
-Help with your Divorce
-Planning your Living Trust and Estate Documents

Guiding clients through difficult transitions:
The only thing constant in life is change. Some changes are inherently hopeful, such as a wedding or the birth of a child. Others, like the dissolution of a marriage or end-of-life planning, challenge us at a deeper level. Yet, these moments present opportunities. As an experienced and skilled lawyer, Ron Champoux works to help you navigate the turbulence of the present toward a more secure future.

A pragmatic approach to emotional issues:
During a dissolution of marriage, every consideration - from the disposition of property to the custody of children - is fraught with emotion. Moreover, parties to divorce are under possibly the greatest emotional distress of their lives, making even the most sophisticated client vulnerable. While no lawyer can deliver a divorce that is entirely painless, a sensitive family lawyer can mitigate the damage by separating the emotional from the legal and setting realistic goals. Ron listens to your concerns, helps you objectively weigh the merits of your case and select a strategy calculated to deliver the best outcome. Our office provides professional advocacy, working efficiently with an eye toward mitigating your expenses.

Your legacy secured:
The greatest satisfaction from a life of labor comes from knowing that your efforts have made your loved ones secure. Yet in these turbulent economic times, safeguarding your legacy to your children and grandchildren poses acute challenges. A knowledgeable estate planning attorney can protect your wealth to the advantage of your beneficiaries.
