Manassau Law Offices believes in a low-conflict approach to untangling the personal bonds formed in marriage.

We treat our clients like family. Contact our law office by e-mail or call us at 408.918.0010 to meet with an experienced family law attorney. We offer initial consultations and convenient evening and weekend appointments.

Strong Background in Family Law

Our law firm's founding attorney Elizabeth Manassau uses her in-depth legal knowledge and negotiation skills to develop positive divorce settlement and separation agreements. She guides clients through the divorce process, and clearly explains their legal rights and options.

A divorce settlement agreement is perhaps the most efficient and cost-effective way to resolve contested issues stemming from a divorce. To learn if we can be of assistance to you, please contact our office in San Jose, California, today.

Protecting Your Assets and Future

Marriage is a legal partnership that establishes property rights as well as the responsibility to provide for the economic and emotional support of the couple's children. When a marriage ends, the divorce settlement agreement must account for the division of all marital assets, from bank accounts to cars to real estate to business holdings. In addition, debts owed by the couple must be divided. Attorney Manassau has a strong background protecting clients' assets.

The divorcing parties must also come to agreement on issues involving children. We will help you and your spouse come to agreement on a fair parenting plan that gives both parents the opportunity to have an ongoing relationship with their children.

Schedule a initial consultation

When a fair settlement agreement cannot be reached, we will take your case to court. However, we will explore all possible alternatives, including divorce mediation, to save you the time and expense of a trial.

Lawyer Manassau also represents clients in legal separation. Contact us today to schedule a initial consultation — we offer convenient weekend and evening appointments.
