New Jersey Legal Counsel for Families
When you need to resolve a legal issue that affects your family — such as child custody, property division in divorce or juvenile delinquency charges — through settlement or litigation, I am here to help.
I am A. Harold “Hal” Kokes, Esq., an experienced Ocean City Family Law Attorney. Contact me to schedule a free initial consultation about your case:
- Child custody, visitation and support: Whether in a divorce or paternity context, the residential and financial care of children is an important aspect of family law. I will help you understand the law and advocate for your position and the best interests of your child or children.
- Juvenile delinquency: I have extensive experience with the juvenile justice system and am particularly concerned with the welfare of my young clients, seeking among other things to keep their cases out of adult criminal court and in the juvenile system where they belong.
- Divorce: In addition to issues affecting the children, property settlement with regard to real estate, personal property and debt is another major divorce issue, and a skilled attorney can clarify this issue and suggest solutions. I am experienced at helping spouses come to a settlement on the property division issue.
- Adoption: Whether you are looking to adopt a stepchild, grandchild or other child already in your care or you want to bring a new child into your family through adoption, I can help.
- Incompetency/guardianship: When a loved one is no longer capable of taking care of him or herself and needs a guardian to ensure that financial and health care matters are taken care of, a skilled family lawyer will help you through the process.
Whether your concern is about child support, property settlement, adoption, guardianship or any other family law topic, an experienced lawyer can put your mind at ease. Contact me today.
