If you are considering filing for divorce in Sonoma County, California, or have estate planning, real estate, business, or other legal needs, I want to help you get the best possible legal outcome. At my office, you will receive quality legal representation from an attorney with more than thirty years of professional legal practice. I am attorney Charles D. Stark. As an attorney with extensive experience in a broad range of legal areas, I strive to advise my clients on the effects that an array of legal issues might have on their particular legal matter. The law cannot be easily separated into individual segments. Being an effective attorney requires understanding how family law fits together with your long-term interests and estate planning needs, and how estate planning affects your settlement decisions. Putting it all together is what good lawyering is really all about.

If you are searching for an experienced attorney in the Santa Rosa area, contact me, Charles D. Stark, to schedule an opportunity to meet with me.

Chesspiece My theory on the practice of law is that successful outcomes start with the right choices. What I mean by this is that your choice of legal counsel and legal process directly affects the potential resolution or outcome of your case. If you hire me to represent you, we will discuss the mode in which you want to pursue your cause: mediation, arbitration, collaborative family law, or litigation. Each of these methods are designed to reach outcomes in unique ways. Part of this decision entails a review and prioritization of your interests and needs. We will define what you have to have, want to have, and are willing to negotiate over in order to define our negotiating strategy. Negotiation is the most important part of any legal dispute as so few cases go to trial due to the uncertainty, inefficiency, and cost involved. It is only when we fully understand these initial choices and priorities that we will be able to form a cogent legal strategy to help get you the legal resolution you desire.
