LaRue Law serves clients who are considering divorce or establishing a parenting plan and need guidance on mediation, child support, guardian ad litem representation and collaborative dissolutions.
The legal process in these matters is more complex than most people realize. That is why engaging a family lawyer with both experience and robust expertise is crucial. We emphasize using collaborative law and mediated solutions because we believe that, if at all possible, family transitions and issues are best managed and resolved outside of the courtroom.
The complexity of a case drives costs as does any contention. For that reason, we offer our legal assistance based on different budgets. For clients who cannot afford full attorney representation, we offer a menu of services on an “a la carte” or limited scope basis.
We bring not only 15-plus years of experience in family cases but also a smart, thoughtful and caring approach to case and client management. We are responsive and provide our clients with an honest assessment of their case and their options. Our excellent reputation and relationships with Lewis and Clark County judges assure clients they will get the best possible representation.
