Resolving Disputes through Litigation

The Litigation Process
Typically, someone will file a summons and petition and, at times, additional moving papers in court seeking some form of relief. Then, the other side will respond. Usually, once the legal case begins, there is an exchanging of information either informally or formally. This is otherwise known as the discovery period.
After discovery is completed, most courts require the parties to attend a settlement conference to determine if the case may be resolved before trial. If the parties are unable to reach a settlement, the litigation continues to a trial.
Near or on the day of trial, one or both parties often make settlement offers, in the hope of avoiding court proceedings (which are often costly and protracted). Litigation ends if a settlement is reached. However, if not, a trial will commence. In family law and juvenile dependency proceedings, the trials are conducted by a judge – not a jury.
During a trial, both parties present relevant and admissible evidence that will help to prove the truth of their positions. If the moving petitioner makes a convincing case, the respondent may seek to settle the case immediately. On the other hand, if the petitioner presents a weak case, the respondent may ask the court to dismiss the case. If the trial proceeds to a conclusion, the judge must decide which party prevails. Once the Court makes a final decision, the losing party has the right to file a timely appeal.

“Very Helpful and Knowledgeable”
Tiffany gave me practical advice concerning a child welfare case in Solana County, CA. She understands California dependency law and was available to answer my question on short notice. I highly recommend her.- Christopher -
“Tiffany was there for me, even AFTER my case was filed.”
Long Story short, My particular case started off as a Divorce & Child Custody case; but soon after Divorce papers were filed; I (a male) became a Victim of a brutal Domestic Violence from my Ex. Tiffany took care of all the necessary documents needed to finalize my Divorce & Child Custody case while I was hospitalized with multiple stab wounds & internal injuries. Tiffany helped & filed documents so that my children wouldn't be taken as wards of the state; & gave temporary custody to a familial relative while I recovered from my injuries. Not once did she leave my side as an attorney while I was in the hospital recovering from what my Ex-wife did... If I could recommend a Family Attorney to anyone in Northern California... I would recommend Tiffany Andrews; there is no doubt about this in my mind.- Arnell -
“Great Dependency Lawyer”
Great dependency lawyer. Was able to make strong arguments with very little information. Super sharp.- Previous Client -
“Overall Great Staff”
Tiffany and her team are wonderful! They have great communication skills, within the office and with myself, the client. While communicating via email, my questions and concerns are addressed quickly and thoroughly. Each employee that I have spoken to, ranging from receptionist to office manager, to the attorney, has been incredibly kind. Tiffany is extremely knowledgeable and resourceful. Certainly the type of attorney you want representing you.- Merranda K
I would highly recommend her! -
“Family Called by CPS”
Was called by CPS for the first time. We were scared, didn't know what to do or say. Didn't have any idea how to handle an unfortunate situation like this. Just because of a false accusation, our lives changed! Called a friend and referred me to Tiffany who's an expert in this kind of situations. Tiffany was there to answer all our questions, gave us advice and cleared our minds. She explained the situation in a manner that we will understand and assured us that everything will be fine. Those were the words that we needed to hear. We followed her advice and Thank God everything went well. Thank you, Tiffany!- Previous Client -
“Hard Working”
Ms. Andrews did a lot of research on issues she was not clear so that she would be able to provide accurate information and advice. She worked diligently on my case, while my ex's attorney was playing "legal games" - by sending letters with false claims to rack up his fees - while pretending to work on the case. Unfortunately my divorce was very complicated; however, in the end, Ms. Andrews managed to win over my ex - so he fired his attorney and we had Mr. Andrews finish the final paperwork for the both of us. In the end, Ms. Andrews saved both me and my ex, additional grief, frustration and money.- Previous Client -
“I highly recommend Tiffany Andrews for your family law needs!”
Tiffany L Andrews has represented me with professionalism and care. She thoroughly explained the legal processes to me and assisted me through the intricacies of my divorce. She also assisted and allowed me to participate in all of the decisions that were made in my case. She interacted with opposing counsel with professionalism and courtesy while maintaining a firm stance as to the interests of my case. I am very impressed with her abilities and the manner in which she conducted herself while handling my case. Her staff is also very competent and accommodating to my personal needs. I am very satisfied with results thus far, and I am confident that I have made the right decision when I hired Tiffany L Andrews as my attorney.- David -
“Professional and Effective”
I retained Tiffany Andrews to accomplish my divorce and am pleased with the service provided. My ex-wife was very uncooperative at times and prolonged the divorce unnecessarily. Tiffany was able to move things along and eventually get her to complete her part of the necessary paperwork. Further, I am in the military and was deployed while the process was ongoing. Even though I was half a world away Tiffany and her staff were able to keep me abreast of the situation and worked with me to sign paperwork and keep things rolling. I would highly recommend Tiffany Andrews to those in need of legal services.- Previous Client
