Family law cases are typically returned the same day or the next business day, depending on urgency.
​
You’ll speak first with a Bridges Law team member who will gather basic information about your situation so we can determine how to best assist you.

Case Review & Follow-Up
Once we have your information, our legal team reviews the details to determine if your case is a good fit.

If we can help, we’ll explain next steps and schedule a consultation.

We’re selective in the cases we take so we can give every client the time and attention they deserve.
