Divorce in Sacramento can be complicated
Families are complicated, and family law has become complicated as well. James Bayse practices all aspects of divorce and family law, from uncontested cases to complex, high-asset litigation in all Sacramento and Placer County communities - Sacramento, Carmichael, Citrus Heights, Fair Oaks, Orangevale, Rancho Cordova, Elk Grove, Natomas, Roseville, Rocklin and Folsom.
We work closely with forensic accountants, professional appraisers, actuarial consultants, tax and financial experts, vocational evaluators, and real estate and mortgage brokers in order to prepare cases thoroughly to get the best result possible.
We encourage negotiation and settlement as a first option, but litigate aggressively when necessary to protect client's interests. We start by working closely with clients to provide the legal analysis and personalized strategy to achieve the client's goals. Our goal is to provide realistic advice and assertive representation. We are committed to maintaining direct and honest communication with our clients, and helping them understand their options at each stage of their case.
