Make no mistake, we keep the child first

Many prospective clients come to us expecting us to help them fight for custody so they won't get ordered to pay child support. At the Law Offices of Michael J. MacLellan, we will never do anything to harm a child. We will discuss your reasons for fighting for custody. Your attorney will explain how California courts are likely to view your family law case, and we'll even help you determine what your child support obligations may be. But if fighting for custody isn't what is truly best for your child, we will refer you to another attorney. Fighting hard to protect the rights of your child in order to uphold the child's best interests is truly our primary concern.
