Divorce / Family and Domestic Laws
Aggressive Legal Services has years of experience
helping clients achieve the results they desire in all domestic
law issues. We have successfully represented
clients with different types of family legal matters: some victories
have come in complicated cases wherein we successfully changed custody
from the in-state mother to an out-of-state father. We recognize that in simple matters, our clients want their
legal problems solved promptly, efficiently, and at a reasonable
price.
Last year, Aggressive Legal Services successfully litigated numerous
custody issues, twice involving changing the placement of minor children
from an in-state Rhode Island mother to an out-of-state father. In each
of these cases, the father contacted The Law Office of John E. MacDonald, and we
immediately filed the appropriate documents, got the matters before a judge
and persuaded the judge to rule in our client's favor.
We regularly handle clients needing help with divorce in Rhode Island. We handle family issues in the following areas:
