Frid Family Law Group

Compassionate, Practical Family Law Support — Guiding You Through Life’s Transitions with Clarity, Care and Knowledge.

What we do

We are a dedicated family law firm here to help you navigate hard decisions with confidence. Whether you’re facing separation, resolving parenting arrangements, negotiating support, or dividing property, we offer clear, compassionate legal guidance during life’s most complex transitions. We specialize in providing mediation services and negotiating separation agreements by helping clients find practical, respectful and reasonable solutions outside the courtroom whenever possible. If litigation proves necessary, we provide cost-effective guidance to help understand and manage the court process.

Rooted in integrity, curiosity, and care, our firm is built on values that guide not only how we practice law, but how we support people. We meet every client with patience and understanding so we can provide sound, practical and tailored advice for your needs. At Frid Family Law Group, we believe strong communication, thoughtful strategy, and client-centered advocacy are the foundation of effective family law service.
