Convenient Family Law Assistance in Orange County
If you have a family law case in Orange County, you are likely familiar with the Lamoreaux Justice Center in Orange. This is where most family law cases are heard, from divorce and custody matters to support modifications and restraining orders. The Lamoreaux Justic Center also houses the Office of the Family Law Facilitator and Family Court Services.
If you need real legal guidance for your Orange County family law case without the cost and ongoing obligation of traditional full-service representation, the Law Office of Dan Sweeney offers a practical alternative: flat-fee, limited-scope sessions by video conference.

While Orange County is known for it’s abundance and wealth, we know that most residents don’t have an unlimited budget for family law representation. With most experienced attorneys requiring initial retainers of $10,000 and more for a new case, full-service representation is simply out of reach form many families. That’s why we’ve developed a different type of office.
Our affordable, session-based approach offers the benefit of working with an experienced family law attorney who understands what California family courts require, without the financial burden of full-service representation. And because sessions are conducted by video conference, we work around your schedule, not the other way around.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. We make sure you’re in compliance with all state and local rules and will ensure you use all required local forms. The paperwork we prepare during your session can be filed by you at the Lamoreaux Justice Center. We provide specific filing instructions for your courthouse so you know exactly what to do.
I worked at the Family Law Facilitator’s Office for many years and understand the reasons for limiting the scope of their assistance. Unlike the Facilitator’s Office, we form attorney-client relationships which allows us to take a broader scope in our case involvement and to offer advice and case strategy in a way that is impossible for a self-help office to provide.
Yes. Many of our clients come to us in the middle of their case. Whether you need help responding to a motion, preparing financial disclosures, drafting discovery, or working toward a judgment, we can assist.
