Melinda Hanson Weerts

No two family law cases are alike — your case is as unique as you are. The solutions to your legal problems must be focused on the actual issues of concern that you have. You want to make sure that the choices that you make at this time are going to leave you in a positive position, and it can be overwhelming when there is so much happening at such a critical moment in your life.

Warm and welcoming, Ms. Weerts strives to ameliorate what can easily be a stressful situation. In family law, emotions can run high. Ms. Weerts has a simple philosophy: diffuse, determine, and diagnose: diffuse the anger and fear, determine the issue to be handled, diagnose the proper remedy.
