COVID-19 Update:
I am now only conducting California divorce mediation sessions and consulting attorney legal conferences on Zoom.
Please call or email me to schedule.
I NO LONGER REPRESENT CLIENTS IN COURT (IN-PERSON OR VIRTUALLY) IN CONTESTED LITIGATION.
IF YOU HAVE A CONTESTED LITIGATION CASE THAT REQUIRES OR WILL REQUIRE ATTORNEY REPRESENTATION IN COURT, I AM NOT THE RIGHT ATTORNEY FOR YOU.
Do you need a fresh start, a clean slate to reclaim your life, and a new beginning? If you are ready to end a relationship which is no longer beneficial for you, I can provide legal help to get closure and a new beginning.
For more than 35 years, Alameda family law attorney and mediator Gerard A.
Falzone has counseled and represented clients in divorce and family law mediation, settlements and litigation including:
Divorce
Legal Separation
Annulment of Marriage
Premarital Legal Counseling
Pre-divorce Legal Counseling
Marital Property Agreements
Community Property Rights and Division
Marital Settlement Agreements
Child Custody and Visitation
Child Support
Spousal Support
Pension Division
Tax Aspects of Divorce
Restraining Orders
Paternity Cases
Post-Judgment Child Custody Modifications

My service to you includes providing the most cost effective alternatives to resolving your case or situation.
In some matters, I act as the mediator for two parties who would like my help to resolve their case by agreement.
For my mediated settlements, I then draft all Stipulated Judgment and other documents necessary for my clients to obtain a Judgment without having to go to court.
In other matters, I act as one party's consulting attorney, giving him or her legal advice and counsel, where another person is already functioning as mediator for both parties.
I also provide legal counsel and advice to people who wish to file and resolve their cases themselves, who need assistance in beginning, negotiating, preparing for court and completing their cases.
For some of my clients, I provide pre-divorce legal counseling, so that my clients can discuss with me possible resolution scenarios, and become aware of and avoid possible legal pitfalls in their situation.
My guidance and support for an affordable, successful divorce or other legal proceeding gives my clients more financial flexibility during these difficult times.
I will do my best to help resolve your case as quickly, inexpensively, and amicably as possible.
My clients' satisfaction is my primary concern, treating them as I would want to be treated if I needed a lawyer.
Through competent, caring, and empathetic legal help and counsel, I will keep you fully informed and in control of every step of the process.
My hourly rate is reasonable and significantly lower than many other family law attorneys with my years of experience.
I am a graduate of U.
C.
Berkeley (Boalt Hall) Law.
I have a convenient Alameda office, with free off-street parking in the lot behind the building.
Evening and weekend appointments are available.
My hours are flexible to suit your needs.
Checks, cash, Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover accepted.
I encourage you to call my office anytime, including on the weekends, at: 510-521-9500 for a free initial telephone consultation or to schedule an appointment, or you may contact me by e-mail.
