We're Here to Help You and Your Family

At Caron Family Law, we know that navigating the legal system is difficult at the best of times. The stress and emotional roller-coaster of family issues makes the journey even more daunting. We are here to empower you and help you discover what you really want, so you can make decisions based on your best interests. It’s about maintaining a focus on what is fair and reasonable, not only for legal issues, but also for a lifestyle.

We specialize in Collaborative Family Law, a unique way of practicing law where lawyers for both parties are committed to reaching a fair and balanced agreement without going through the court system. We work closely with you as a legal advisor and a negotiation coach, so issues are settled in an efficient, cooperative manner.

Caron Family Law uses Alternative Disputes Resolution and Mediation as an effective way to resolve matters in a more gentle, non-combative environment. This conciliatory approach typically means less time, less cost and less stress on the parties involved.

​Caron Family Law supports you through your stressful time. We help you become strong and stable in rebuilding your life, so you can heal and move forward. You don’t have to settle for less.

“You can stop, breathe, and relax. We are at your side to guide you through your case, with sensitivity and compassion, with a strategic approach to get your issue resolved as quickly and successfully as possible.”
