Attorney Raver has several years of legal experience. He handles all family law matters, including divorce, equitable distribution (often involving complex compensation or business owners), child custody, child support, paternity, and protection from abuse. In addition to being a talented litigator, he is experienced with alternative dispute resolution methods, such as mediation and collaborative law, designed for clients who prefer a less adversarial approach to divorce and want to maintain some control over the outcome.
