Today, as the founder of Sousa Family Law, I represent clients in all areas of family law, including divorce, custody, child support, alimony, guardianships, and grandparent visitation. I also serve in specialized roles as an ARC (Attorneys Representing Children), a Guardian ad Litem (GAL), a professional parenting time supervisor, and a CPCS panel attorney. These appointments allow me to bring my unique background and skills into some of the most sensitive cases, ensuring that children’s voices are heard and families receive thoughtful, well-rounded advocacy.
I opened this firm with a clear vision: to do things differently. Family law is not simply about legal filings and courtroom appearances. These cases involve real people, real children, and real lives. Every decision, every motion, and every outcome deeply affects the future of a family. For me, being an attorney is not just about applying the law but it is about caring for the whole person who is walking through what may be the hardest time of their life.
That is why we take a holistic approach to family law. This means helping clients not only navigate the legal system, but also supporting them emotionally and practically. It means assisting clients with coping strategies, emotional regulation, and identifying resources that may help outside of the case itself. I believe that the role of a family law attorney should extend beyond legal strategy—it should include compassion, empathy, and a genuine commitment to helping clients rebuild and move forward.
