Services
Adoption Law
Our firm helps families navigate the adoption process from start to finish. We assist with several adoption types, including agency, foster child, grandchild, stepparent, and international adoptions. By providing clear explanations of legal procedures and required documentation, we help clients stay prepared. We also offer guidance on meeting adoption requirements and completing related legal filings.
Divorce
We provide dedicated divorce representation focused on helping clients move through the process with greater clarity and confidence. By working one-on-one with you, we address questions and develop strategies tailored to your situation. Our approach emphasizes negotiation and mediation whenever appropriate. If a settlement cannot be achieved, we are ready to advocate through traditional court proceedings.
Child Custody
At Shemesh Family Law, we are dedicated to helping our clients remain actively involved in their children's lives throughout custody proceedings. We recognize the emotional challenges that custody matters can create for families. Our team prioritizes the well-being of the children while providing reliable legal guidance. We handle a wide range of custody-related issues and tailor our approach to each client's circumstances.
Mediation
We help families address divorce and family law disagreements through professional mediation services. Our attorneys recognize how demanding these situations can be for everyone involved. By working toward agreements outside of court, we assist clients in protecting important personal relationships. Mediation can also help limit expenses and encourage a less confrontational process.

I had a child support issue that I was getting conflicting information on from different sources including another family attorney.
Amber Shemesh knew exactly which action we needed to take. With the help of Amber as well as Alexia, we got my issue resolved quickly and correctly. Can't thank them and recommend them enough!

I highly recommend Ms. Shemesh ESQ. Ms. Shemesh has nine years experience in the field of family law and has managed to maintain a five star avvo rating. She is highly esteemed and recognized in her field because she is professional, reliable, organized, devoted and trustworthy. This is a woman who has worked hard to establish herself in her career and built a solid, reputable practice. Familiarize yourself well with the true facts before you believe unsubstantiated negative reviews. no conviction without due process.

Ms. Shemesh has maintained a 5-star Avvo rating over the course of 9 years practicing law. The fact that a sudden influx of negative reviews is stemming from misinformation regarding an ongoing case shows the lack of proper education in those whom are leaving said reviews. Do your research before attempting to harm someones business, or better yet further harming the child involved by spreading information that isnt accurate.
