Law Offices Of Lisa J Graff

Graff & Dawson Law has been providing legal services in the field of family law since 1992, formerly known as the Law Offices of Lisa J. Graff, LLC. Our team of experienced attorneys includes Lisa Graff, Amy Dawson, and Jennifer Sarro, who have been practicing together since 1997. Our law firm specializes in complex family law matters, offering sophisticated representation to clients with high net worth and complex finances.

Our philosophy is to support and respect the uniqueness of each situation while maintaining a focus on the best interest of the children involved. We recognize that separation and divorce are difficult times for all parties involved, and we strive to resolve the process in a timely and reasonable manner by paying close attention to the needs and details of each family situation. While our first choice is always to negotiate a fair resolution, we are comfortable litigating the case if necessary.

Our Services

At Graff & Dawson Law, we offer legal services in traditional client representation and alternative dispute resolution, including mediation, conciliation, and arbitration. We help clients understand the law, find creative solutions, and expedite the resolution of their case, usually at a lower cost to the family. Our years of experience have shown that parties who have been able to be active participants in the resolution of their cases feel more in control, less anxious, and more satisfied with the outcome of their case.

Our law firm specializes in high net worth clients with complex finances, and we pride ourselves on our ability to "expand the pie" and find creative solutions for our clients. We represent clients in various complex family law matters, including:

• Separation and divorce
• Mediation
• Custody
• Out of wedlock paternity
• Enforcement of judgments
• Modifications
• Prenuptial agreements
• Marital or post-nuptial agreements
• Separation of domestic partners

When we represent individual clients, we take the time to understand their personal experience in order to craft a process that supports their needs. We believe that ideally, all matters can be resolved by agreement, and we strive to work collaboratively with the other side to negotiate a settlement. Our attorneys are experienced negotiators and trial lawyers, as well as strong financial analysts and creative thinkers.

Alternative Dispute Resolution

At Graff & Dawson Law, we serve as mediators, conciliators, case evaluators, and arbitrators in situations where parties are looking to resolve their disputes outside of court. Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) methods offer clients more control over the approach and outcome of their case and potentially preserve their working relationship with their soon-to-be former spouse or partner. Through our years of experience, we have found that parties who have been able to be active participants in the resolution of their cases feel more in control, less anxious, and more satisfied with the outcome of their case.
