Services
We represent clients pursuing various adoption paths, including foster, private, open, international, and relative adoptions. Because adoption requirements can be detailed, we provide guidance on forms, procedures, and legal expectations. We help families understand what is needed to move forward. From the beginning of the case through finalization, we remain available for support and direction.
At our firm, we help clients navigate the legal and personal complexities of divorce with individualized attention. We take the time to discuss concerns, explain available options, and prepare for issues that may arise. Mediation is often our preferred starting point because it can offer efficiency and privacy. When circumstances require it, we are prepared to pursue litigation.
Our firm guides clients through the legal and practical issues involved in child custody cases. We understand that decisions regarding custody can have a lasting impact on families and children. By focusing on each family's unique situation, we develop strategies tailored to their needs. We assist with numerous custody-related matters while keeping children's interests at the forefront.
At Shemesh Family Law, we provide mediation services for individuals facing divorce and other family law disputes. We understand the financial strain, emotional challenges, and stress these matters can create. Our goal is to help clients reach resolutions outside the courtroom. Mediation often reduces conflict while offering a more cost-effective path forward.

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!

Amber is an excellent lawyer, and I highly recommend Amber and her team! I’ve hired her twice and both times she’s gone above and beyond for my kids and me. Amber is extremely knowledgeable and provided thorough explanation every step of the way. She was my calm during the most difficult time of my life. She’s honest, organized, compassionate, very detailed oriented and cost conscientious.

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 someone’s business, or better yet further harming the child involved by spreading information that isn’t accurate.

Real good people. They took the the time to advise me regarding a prenup and didn’t even send me a bill.
