Toni Lee Cavanagh Law Offices

Family Law: Since family law covers a large area of my practice, I have dedicated a separate page to its contents.

Real Estate: I've been a licensed real estate broker in Pennsylvania since 2008 and can assist you with the purchase, marketing and sale of both residential and commercial properties, drafting of agreements of sale, rental agreements, property management and collection, and landlord/tenant issues; as well as any general real estate matter.

My goal is to make the difficult and painful process of separation and/or divorce as easy as possible. I am aware that the end of any relationship is complex mentally, emotionally & financially. I try to guide my clients through tough financial and personal decisions with the intent of laying the groundwork for a fresh start.

Take notes during the phone consultation, if any, to remember to bring documents the attorney has asked to see for the first meeting. Generally, your attorney will handle everything but there may be times where you can be of assistance to save on fees. Depending on the type of case and work involved, work is usually billed either at an hourly rate or flat rate in accordance with an attorney's experience or level of expertise.

TRUTH: The Pennsylvania Child Support Guidelines give a very good indication of what a person will have to pay for support, HOWEVER, the courts may deviate from the suggested guidelines for various reasons. All support orders are determined on a case by case basis. TRUTH: a voluntary reduction in income (quitting or deliberately getting fired) will not result in reduction or elimination of a child support order.
