About

Family law involves guiding families through their most difficult times -- divorce, custody disputes, support issues.  I do my best to get my clients through doing the least damage possible to the family relationships.  In many cases this results in some sort of agreement between the parties to resolve their dispute.  Sometimes, however, it is necessary to take the case through the court system to have a judge decide.  When that happens I bring my litigative skills to bear. I am frequently appointed to be a Best Interest Attorney by the court to represent children in custody cases.  These cases are already contentious; otherwise the court would not appoint me.  When my clients are the children I make my own determination as to what is in their best interests and bring that to the court for the judge to consider in making the final decision.  Whether my client is the children or one of the adults, I look for ways to help them come to the best outcome, be it agreement or court judgment.

My experience with Ms. Prudence Avery Upton was very positive. She was very assertive and knowledgeable. She had a family oriented and down to earth attitude. Was responsive and worked well with the rest of the team. As a father, my family is very important to me and she worked hard to defend the respect and integrity of that bond.

Prudence Avery Upton is an insightful, wise, and agressive lawyer who solidly advocates on behalf of her clients. She was always responsive and available, not only in dealing with my legal emergencies but in taking my calls and answering my e-mails when I had questions or concerns or just needed someone to hear me out and give me sound advice. With Prudence as my legal counsel I always felt well defended and protected. She is a caring person who gives her utmost effort to her clients.
