The numbers are staggering. In 2007, The Administrative Office of the Courts for Tennessee reports that over 81,000 family law matters were filed in our state. An even more shocking thing to realize is that almost every year more divorces and other family law matters are filed than get disposed of in that year. The causes of this upward spiral of cases has been debated for many years. However, one fact remains. If you or a loved one is involved in a family law issue, then expert legal advice is mandatory. Family law cases touch nearly every other area of the law; from tax to real estate to criminal law and beyond. At the Monroe Firm, we strive to offer expert legal advice in a way that appreciates the difficult personal issues that surround these cases. We have handled thousands of family law cases and Mr. Monroe has also helped amicably resolve hundreds of family law problems as a family law mediator. The future and your security are always uncertain. It is our job to try and bring certainty to your life through either negotiation, mediation or litigation.
