John C. Haas
John’s practice covers a wide-breadth of family law issues including not only dissolution of marriage and allocation of parental rights issues but also marital agreements, child relocation, common law marriage and same-sex relationships. John is an experienced trial attorney and has settled and tried cases in all areas of family law.

John’s empathetic approach and emphasis on limiting the financial and emotional damage that can accompany family law matters brings a sense of calm and appreciation from his clients.
