Santa Clara County Divorce Attorney - John S. Yohanan

If you need a San Jose family law attorney who can advise and represent you on complex problems involving child support, alimony, and divorce property agreements, call my Santa Clara County law office for creative solutions tailored to your specific objectives.

I have 30 years of experience with divorce and family law issues in the San Francisco Bay Area. I'm a 1976 graduate of the Santa Clara University School of Law, and I have concentrated on assisting family law clients for my entire career.

Family law in general is very sensitive to the facts of a specific case, and what works very well for one client might be a terrible choice for another. Certain aspects of family law, such as child custody determinations or decisions to modify alimony or spousal support are also left very much to the discretion of the judge hearing the case. That can make the result of a Family Court hearing somewhat difficult to predict.

For that reason, the best results in a divorce case are usually those achieved by agreement between the parties. My experience represents an advantage to my clients in the negotiated settlement of disputes, because I'm usually able to identify several alternative ways of accomplishing a particular objective. When necessary, however, I'll take my client's case to court with confidence supported by thorough preparation and familiarity with the law.

My experience is also an advantage in cases that involve complex property division problems or divorce taxation issues. I'm admitted to practice before the U.S. Tax Court, and my knowledge of the tax implications of divorce issues has served my clients very well for many years.
