At the Becker Law Offices, we help individuals, couples and families find workable solutions that avoid costly, drawn-out and bitter legal fights. Our goal is to help you find a fair and practical agreement that allows you to move on from this difficult time.

When we started our law firm, we wanted two things: a law firm that had the time to listen to clients and a platform from which we could realize our objective of helping to make a difference in the lives of our clients. At our law firm, we value our relationship with our clients. It’s part of the reason why we went into law and part of what we enjoy most about our practice.

We do not believe that a lawyer can be good at everything. With the changes in the law happening every day, we believe that a lawyer who tries to handle a lot of different areas of the law is really not doing a very good job handling any area of the law. Because of this belief, we focus our practice very narrowly.

We believe this allows us to provide a higher level of service to our clients and allows us to gain an authoritative knowledge in our areas. We also believe that this level of focus helps us to attain our most important objective, helping you protect what matters most.
