Practice Areas
Our practice revolves around family law and issues that arise within the family context. The scope of a legal issue is not always apparent, but family-related cases often touch on overlapping areas like housing, safety, finance, business, and estates. At Santiago Law, LLC, we handle each case with a clear understanding that no legal matter exists in a vacuum. We approach each case with an eye toward the broader legal and personal context of each client's situation, offering practical strategies for families in transition, conflict or crisis.
