You chose the wrong partner.

Now choose the right lawyer.

Divorce can be daunting. The conflict, the cost, the stress, and the confusion of a complicated process can be overwhelming. I know, I’ve been there. But divorce doesn’t have to be such an awful experience. While divorce will never be easy, divorce doesn’t have to be so hard.

If Your Case is in San Mateo, I Can Help.

With my guidance and experience, I can try to make your divorce less painful. As someone with years of teaching experience prior to law school, I can draw on that background to demystify the divorce process and make it more understandable. And as a divorce survivor, I know what you are going through and can offer realistic, practical advice.

At The Divorce Law Firm of Richard C. Young, I seek the most effective route to resolving the issues and bringing final closure to the matter, so the people involved can find peace … and move on.
