Santa Clara County divorce lawyer Merrisa Coleman-Bishop understands that her clients need dependable and legally accurate advice to guide them in some of the most important decisions they'll ever have to make. She starts with your own understanding of the facts that bear on your problem, then works with you to define your objectives, while clarifying both the factual and legal background of your situation. Merrisa Coleman-Bishop will then provide you with practical options for obtaining your goals with the least expense, uncertainty, and time involved.

Wherever possible, she'll work to achieve your objectives through negotiation and agreement rather than exposing you unnecessarily to the risks of litigation.

Her practical advice and solid common sense have served her Bay Area family law clients very well.
