A couple’s decision to divorce can begin a lengthy and painful process, both financially and emotionally. Davison & Davison’s divorce and family law team have the experience, expertise and (most importantly) the compassion to successfully guide the divorcing husband or wife through the legal steps toward the dissolution of their marriage.
