Reading Family Attorney

Work with Curtis E. Barnes, Attorney at Law

Are you facing a family law matter such as divorce, child custody disputes, or alimony modifications? It is crucial for you to retain skillful representation for your situation in order to effectively pursue the results that you need. I am Curtis E. Barnes, Attorney at Law, and I have been serving the residents of Reading, Pennsylvania for a number of years. With more than two decades of legal experience, I understand the various issues that can arise in divorce cases and family court matters and I know how to effectively put my experience to work for my clients.

I have trial experience before both juries and judges, which can be a great advantage in your situation as there are many lawyers who cannot claim that they have this experience. With the insight I can offer, you will be fully prepared for every possible situation that may arise in your case. Also, due to my years in practice in Reading and prior experience as a prosecutor, I have knowledge of local practice and procedure. I also have relationships with local officials such as judges, magisterial district judges, district attorney office personnel, police officers, and many others. I can provide you with the information and the legal representation that you need for your future and the sake of your family.

Family Law Areas of Practice in Berks County

I offer compassionate and comprehensive legal assistance in a number of different areas in family law. I understand the difficult decisions that you will have to make for yourself and your children and can provide the legal counsel that you need. If you are facing divorce, or if you are considering this as an option for relief from unwanted living circumstances, then you should seek skillful representation from a Berks County criminal defense lawyer to help you through this process and ensure that your rights are defended and upheld during all legal proceedings. I have experience in assisting local residents through divorce and custody concerns, and I can put this knowledge to work for you.

In divorce, there are numerous issues that must be addressed, such as division of assets, child custody, visitation rights, and alimony or child support. It is important that you are able to compromise if you wish to pursue uncontested divorce; however, it is crucial that you do not let yourself be taken advantage of during any proceeding, whether mediation, collaborative divorce, or contested divorce. Dissolution of marriage is designed to provide you with relief from unwanted circumstances in a relationship or living situation, and without the right legal assistance, you could be left with highly undesirable decrees or court orders affecting your future.
