A Family Law Firm With An International Reach

When child custody matters cross international borders, we are prepared to navigate this complex legal terrain while protecting our clients’ parental rights.

We have successfully handled numerous international child custody, kidnapping, abduction and wrongful retention issues covered by the Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction and the Federal Parental Kidnapping Prevention Act for clients around the world, as well as cases involving countries that are not Hague signatories.

David is on the U.S. State Department’s referral list for Hague Convention matters, and he has received an award of merit from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children in recognition of and appreciation for his outstanding commitment to the protection of children and his knowledge of the Hague Convention.
