Promoting Your Goals and Protecting Your Child's Best Interests
Your vision of your child's best interests may not be how a family court judge sees it. Jonathan Sennett is effective at reconciling unrealistic goals of his clients with how a judge would likely rule. He helps you see the big picture of the terms of custody — how it will affect your child and your ongoing relationship with the other parent. He fosters cooperation and flexibility and has a knack for cutting down to the core conflict to craft workable solutions. Mr. Sennett develops a strategy only after taking the time to understand where you are open to negotiation and where there is no room to compromise.
We avoid unnecessary litigation, but we are prepared to fight for you when you reach an impasse or the other parent goes on the offensive. Call Jonathan R. Sennett, P.C. at 866-585-1091 for experienced representation in Ulster, Dutchess, Orange and surrounding counties of New York.
