Family Law Services in Livermore, CA
Legal Support in Pleasanton and surrounding areas throughout Alameda, Contra Costa & San Joaquin Counties
Family law disputes that are resolved out of court almost always cost less than disputes that are resolved in the courtroom. Yet, if you face a dispute involving marital property division, child custody, spousal support or child support, you need to be confident that your attorney can take your case to trial if necessary.
I am Jeff M. Bickerton of The Bickerton Law Firm and I provide the balanced legal help clients need when facing divorce. I know that cost is a highly-important consideration in family law disputes. Therefore, I work as efficiently as possible to keep legal costs down. I strive to identify when options or choices are available and present cost budgets so that you have the opportunity to assist in the cost-containment process. Whether your case can be resolved through negotiation or mediation or requires courtroom intervention to pursue a more favorable result, you can rely on my diligence and experience in all options.

Skilled Guidance Through All Family Law Matters
When I represent clients, I emphasize three key objectives:
- Effective legal help. I have practiced family and business law for over 20 years. Prior to opening my law firm, I served as general counsel to an international corporation employing over 1,000 people. My business law experience gives me unique insight into the legal problems that businesses face and into the intricacies of dividing marital property, especially when marital property businesses are involved.
- Cost-effective legal help. I find it helpful to discuss various strategic litigation options and budgets with clients. This allows you to have a realistic expectation regarding the cost of your legal services.
- Accessibility. I strive to make myself as available and accessible to you as possible. All of my clients have my mobile phone number so that I am reachable even after normal business hours should emergencies arise.
