Welcome
Helping families resolve their difficult legal matters.
The Law Offices of Gary D. Sparks is a family law, divorce, probate and estate planning practice dedicated to providing the personalized attorney services you need during the most challenging times in your life.
We understand how difficult and emotional legal matters can be for your family, and strive to provide you with compassionate and results-oriented service as we work together to achieve your goals. We are very protective of our clients' rights, and work hard to achieve fair settlements for them. But when necessary, we litigate aggressively to protect our clients' interests. At the same time, we do our best to set reasonable expectations and help our clients understand the range of possible outcomes.
Flat-Fee Divorce - An Innovative Approach to Family Law
Concerned about your legal fees? You should be. The fact is that working with an attorney can be expensive. However it doesn't have to put you or your family into bankruptcy, nor does it have to keep you awake at night wondering how much your attorney's next bill will be.
We are one of the first California family law firms to offer flat-fee, fixed-rate pricing for both contested and uncontested divorces. Flat-fee billing removes the uncertainty from the process and gives you peace of mind and the ability to know up front and in advance what your case is going to cost.
Legal Solutions. Trusted Advocacy. Affordable Options.
We specialize in all aspects of California family law, including divorce, legal separation, annulment, paternity, child custody and visitation, child support, spousal support (alimony), domestic violence, community property and debt division, prenuptial agreements, marital agreements and post-divorce modifications.
We also provide estate planning instruments such as wills, codicils, living and special trusts, durable powers of attorney and California advance health care directives, as well as probate services including estate administration, spousal property petitions, claims litigation and will contests.
At The Law Offices of Gary D. Sparks, you have the advantage of working with an experienced California attorney who brings a fresh perspective to the practice of family, estate and probate law by working hard to resolve your legal conflicts and not by creating more of it. In addition to full-service representation, we offer a broad range of other services, including legal counseling and mediation, tailored to your specific needs and budget.
