Firm Strategy

Hanson Crawford Family Law Group is a boutique family law firm that specializes in bringing a “hands- on” strategic approach to complex divorce cases. From the outset, we emphasize the importance of educating you about your options.  Together, we strategically select the best process for your case – such as litigation, mediation, or collaborative law – as well as the best venue, such as the public court house or use of a private judge. At Hanson Crawford Family Law Group, we educate you about the substantive issues from the outset, so that you are well-equipped to make informed decisions about your future. 

Firm Experience

We have extensive experience in the business aspects of divorce cases – such as venture capital, hedge funds, and commercial real estate structures.  In addition, our substantial knowledge of complicated child custody and support matters enables us to guide our clients toward successful resolution of these issues.
