BAM Family Law

BAM's History & Philosophy
Prior to founding BAM in 2015, our shareholders had many years of experience with other top Family Law firms. This experience has given us the determination to do things differently, to take a new approach, and to represent a diverse range of clients.


We provide unique, personalized, and highly professional legal assistance, drawing on years of experience in highly specialized areas of the law.
BAM's Clients: Parents, Grandparents, Husbands & Wives

We welcome clients whose needs require challenging existing legal boundaries while serving many clients whose needs are more traditional.



As a result, our clients come from every end of the spectrum: divorced fathers being denied visitation rights, mothers seeking child support, same sex couples seeking to establish their parental rights, domestic abuse victims seeking sanctuary from their abusers, and high net worth individuals trying to protect their children's and grandchildren's inheritance during a divorce.



The individualized approach we take with each and every one of our clients is what makes BAM different. We consider not only the legal needs of our clients but also the emotional turmoil their families are going through so that we can help them make the best possible decisions.

BAM's Team Approach

At BAM, we have developed a team approach that utilizes our attorneys' varying areas of expertise and tailors their diverse skills and styles for maximum effectiveness. This allows our clients to enjoy highly individualized attention at reasonable rates.



Our team approach allows for many cases to have the involvement of two or more attorneys and also by other legal experts. For the clients, that means that their cases will be reviewed by attorneys with a variety of perspectives, styles and legal expertise, who can review elements of constitutional, civil, family, criminal, and corporate law to determine the best approach. At the same time, the lead attorney oversees the entire process and develops a one-on-one relationship with the client.



Some of our attorneys are more familiar with certain judges and/or certain jurisdictions, and the team process allows them to weigh in with those valuable insights.



The team approach also has financial benefits for the client, allowing paralegals to create first drafts at lower rates, thereby minimizing costs. The client is charged a "blended rate" reflecting the average of attorney and paralegal time, to reflect the incorporation of the much lower paralegal rate for delegable tasks.



This approach also means that if the client's lead attorney is in court or away for some other reason, there is always someone available who is familiar with their case should an urgent need arise. For more information about the team, please go to Our Team.
