Family Law

There is likely nothing more upsetting than the breakdown of a marriage or relationship, particularly when children are involved.  Experience and a thorough understanding of Michigan divorce law, negotiation, and litigation are crucial in assuring that a client's rights are going to be vigorously protected. 

In domestic issues, the attorney must make difficult decisions in order to ensure that a client's rights and privileges are defended but also to safeguard the mental health and well being of the children involved.  Often, a win-at-all-cost attitude will do more harm than good, and an attorney must be able to objectively make decisions for the good of the client.  Mr. Jernigan has been involved in all aspects of divorce and custody issues for the last decade, and brings a refreshing and honest perspective to such matters that serves his clients very well.
