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.

“Amazing Family Law Attorney!!”
Tiffany did an amazing job handling my case, most of which she did long distance as I relocated to another state across the country soon after she was hired. I just couldn't have gotten through that time in my life without her. She's extremely knowledgeable and relatable. She's truly gifted at what she does and I'd recommend her to anyone with Family Law issues.- Sandrell -
“Superior Customer Service”
- JetI was very lucky to have found Atty Andrews online because she addressed all of my questions and concerns over the phone for 30 mins without coming across as someone who is only interested in me as a client for money. She went above and beyond the phone consultation and normally there's a $150 consultation fee that she waived.
She was very helpful and honest and I felt that she genuinely had my best interest in mind and not her business for profit. She even recommended for me hire an attorney in Texas vs California because it is the most beneficial for my family and the one that makes sense the most. I would have loved to hire Atty Andrews to represent our family, but we will listen to all of her advice and recommendations. Thank you, Atty Andrews!!!

“Great Dependency Lawyer”
Great dependency lawyer. Was able to make strong arguments with very little information. Super sharp.- Previous Client -
“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 -
“Kindness and Generosity”
I can not thank me Andrews and her team enough for the kindness and generosity they showed me throughout one of the most difficult things I’ve had to deal with in my life. My head was spinning after months of googling and weighing my options while searching for a lawyer to handle my case. I imagine like most in the working class you may be afraid that you will make the mistake and hire the wrong lawyer. Wasting all your funds and end up no better off than you were. This was not the case with Tiffany and her team. I made the stupid mistake of going to the first part of my divorce custody case of going at it alone my case was very clear and I trusted the justice system to do what was right. This was not the scenario I faced. The opposition lawyer was able to manipulate everything and knew loopholes that the average person wouldn’t even believe was something that could happen in a court room. I can not stress enough it does not matter what is right and what is wrong you need a lawyer to protect yourself. As far as I’m concerned Tiffany and her team are mericle workers. I went into this thinking “oh great I’m going to be manipulated out of more and more money and I’m going to end up where I started anyway” following Tiffany’s advice I ended up being able to protect myself. From the moment I retained ms Andrews she was there for me literally day and night. I had many questions and issues throughout my case and though I don’t suggest anyone bothering her after business hours there were a few times I felt I needed to contact her and received a response very shortly after. These responses were often reassuring that she had things under control. This is a huge factor for me. Also she was very knowledgeable and always represented herself and myself in good light. I did not want to be vicious and aggressive and she managed to be assertive without being over the top. She was very respectful and I never had the feeling hat things were over my head. She always took the time to explained things to me in a way that I could understand and make well informed decisions. I would and will recommend me Andrews and her team to anyone looking for the best.- Brian -
“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!
