Jessica Watson  Find out more information about our offices and our philosophies. We can expertly handle all legal matters related to divorce, family law, adoption law, and dependency law.  

Family Law  Lives are built upon the foundation of relationships. When these relationships are destroyed, a divorce or dissolution, the resulting emotional turmoil can be devastating, and is too often completely overwhelming. With sufficient doses of argument, frustration, confusion, and grief; our attempts to think and to reason diplomatically become futile. Vulnerable and in need of assistance, these are the important life events that require us to reach out for help. The legal dissolution of a relationship is extremely complex and emotionally charged. The divorce is a process, and is more about the decisions that you and your spouse come to, than about who was right, who was wrong, and who should be punished. How you arrive at these decisions will be greatly influenced by the divorce attorney you choose to represent you, and by the methods used in dissolving the relationship. The Law Office of Jessica Watson implements these philosophies as the cornerstone of our practice.  
Dependency Law  Juvenile dependency law is extremely complex and highly emotionally charged. In these cases, the state becomes involved with an often in-tact family. In many cases, state intervention is necessary to protect children who may be subject to abuse or neglected by a caretaker. When assisting families in dependency proceedings, my principle concern is the child's best interests. Because of the unique intimacy experienced by families, these interactions often present the first and most important opportunity to create critical emotional bonds with a child.  
Adoption Law  Adoption is often considered an opposite to divorce. Here a new relationship is built between non-biologically related people. Often a child is adopted through governmental and adoption agencies, while at other times a step-parent desires their establishment in a more official role to a step-child. We can serve you as an authoritative guide through your adoption.
