At WSM Law, we believe every woman deserves to be the architect of her own life.

It is not enough to get the best result; you deserve to understand why it is the best result.
Interview more than one attorney. For many women, a divorce is likely your first, only, and most emotionally-draining interaction with the legal system. It is important you pick someone you trust, someone you are comfortable speaking to about your life, someone who is responsive, someone who knows the law, and someone who understands the logistics of court proceedings. A good divorce attorney should be able to explain the divorce process to you in an empathetic, knowledgeable way, and also give you an estimated timeline of how the case will proceed as well as how much each stage will cost.
Women are different than men. Women’s goals in a divorce can be different than the goals that men have. Often times, the inertia of the legal system can minimize or trivialize goals that a wife or mother has for her future, which are far more important to her than what the court and lawyers are focused on. By representing exclusively women, WSM attorneys know what is important to our clients and how to convey the importance of these issues to the court, Guardian ad Litem, and even opposing counsel.
Yes! The dissolution of a marriage, even if amicable, is complicated. Imagine dissolving a business partnership: even if the partners are in agreement, they wouldn’t try to draft the dissolution documents themselves. A marriage is a partnership. Dissolving the marriage requires division of equity in a home, cash and retirement assets, vehicle title transfers, and your children’s schedules. Making sure this divorce contract is drafted properly ensures that everyone is getting what they are trying to agree to and ensures that the agreement is enforceable. While you may agree and be amicable now, who knows what can happen in the future. You want to make sure your decree is sound.
Yes! Custody orders are always modifiable. The law acknowledges that circumstances change and your custody order or shared parenting plan may need to be modified. To that end, the barrier to re-entry is a change in circumstances. If you want to modify your order, you need to demonstrate a change in circumstances that makes your current plan no longer in your children’s best interests.
In divorce, all marital assets and debts must be identified, valued, and divided. Usually, anything acquired during the marriage is considered marital property, regardless of whose name is on it. Courts aim for an equitable division—this might mean splitting assets in half or requiring one spouse to make an “equalization payment” to balance things out.
While the process may sound complex, our attorneys make it clear and easy to understand. We’ll educate you how the law applies to your situation and work to secure your fair share.
We believe our reviews speak for themselves. We go above and beyond to serve our clients. We understand that your life is being turned upside down. We are always a phone call away and one of our primary goals is for you to be assured that we have the legal side of the break up of your marriage is completely covered and one less thing you need to be concerned about.
Sarah Lilly was the first associate attorney we hired. She took a pay cut to come work for us. Back then we were in a shoebox of a space and Sarah had to share an office with Katie. She took a risk on us because she saw what WSM would become. She believed in what WSM stood for. She was a brilliant attorney and a ray of light and strength. WSM is what it is today because Sarah believed in it.
When Sarah was in law school, she was involved with the University of Miami Law School’s HOPE Public Interest Research Center. HOPE’s mission is to create lasting systems which effectuate equal access to justice. HOPE provides merit-based scholarships to students who take public interest summer jobs in furtherance of its mission.
In honor of Sarah and her passion for equal justice, WSM Law has partnered with HOPE to fund the “Lilly Fellowship” for equal justice. Each year, WSM will fund two HOPE applicants who express specific interest in women’s rights, domestic violence, juvenile justice, or other issues in line with both WSM and HOPE’s mission.
In addition to the Lilly Fellowship, HOPE provides fellowships to numerous other students each year as well. The more donations HOPE receives, the more fellowships it can award. If you would like to join us in supporting this cause, here’s how you can contribute:
Please click the “DONATE” button. On the donation page, enter “Lilly Fellowship” under the Name field, select “Memorial” as the type, and feel free to include your personal name in the Description field.
