Sharon M. Eppes - Family Law Advice Center, P.A. - Wilmington, DE
Affordable Family Law Consulting and Guidance
Sharon M. Eppes - Family Law Advice Center, P.A. is a unique legal resource located in Wilmington, Delaware. Founded in 1992, the center was established to provide affordable legal help to individuals who might otherwise be unable to hire a full-time attorney. Sharon M. Eppes specializes in offering ”unbundled” legal services, meaning clients can pay for specific tasks-such as advice, document review, or coaching-rather than a large upfront retainer for full representation. If you are looking to find a lawyer who offers a flexible and cost-effective approach to family law, this practice is designed for you. The center empowers clients to handle much of their own cases while ensuring they have professional legal guidance when it counts.
Focused Family Law Services
The practice is dedicated exclusively to domestic relations matters. Clients looking to hire an attorney for guidance or limited representation can find help with:
- Divorce Consulting: Explaining the legal process, rights, and obligations in a divorce case.
- Custody and Visitation: Assisting with the drafting of petitions and preparing clients for mediation or hearings.
- Child Support: Helping clients calculate guidelines and understand support orders.
- Document Preparation: Reviewing and drafting court pleadings to ensure they meet legal standards.
- Pro Se Assistance: Coaching individuals who are representing themselves in Family Court.
