Spousal Education Sessions

Filing for divorce can be scary! At The Law Shop, we want to take the fear out of the process for you and your family. That’s why we offer a unique service called a “Spousal Education Session,” which gives you and your spouse the opportunity for meeting together with a quality legal professional to learn about the legal process and the variety options available to you for getting through that process. Divorce isn’t about a fight, it’s about the PLAN. Go to www.lawshop.net and click on “Get Started” to set up a Spousal Education Session with a TLS attorney.

"Our daughter was in foster care for 725 days. Foster Care is emotional and filled with uncertainty. So when we were approved to adopt, Amy understood how important moving quickly was for us. Amy and her staff were so professional, understanding, and efficient. Our adoption went as quickly as possible. Amy and The Law Shop helped us complete our family with the sweetest, cutest little girl and we are so grateful! We HIGHLY recommend Amy and her staff. They will treat you like family! Thank you!" – Holli
“Definitely would say Andrea was a great lawyer and was there anytime we had questions/concerns. Everything we needed done was done, and we couldn’t have asked for a smoother, painless process. We did and still do appreciate the time she put into our situation and making our dreams come true about us finally becoming a family!!” – Melissa and Joe
