Experienced Family Law and Divorce Attorney in Northern Virginia
In any law practice, experience is the most effective teacher, and success is measured in terms of clients who have benefited from the wisdom of that experience with positive outcomes to their cases.
Raymond B. Benzinger has been a practicing attorney for over 35 years, serving family law and divorce clients in Arlington, Virginia for 25 years.
His pro bono and volunteer activities also contribute to Mr. Benzinger's knowledge and unique perspective on family law and divorce. In addition to his credentials as an attorney, his resume includes appointments as a Neutral Case Evaluator for the Fairfax County Bar Association, a Motions Conciliator in circuit court and juvenile court (in Fairfax County and Prince William County), and as a guardian ad litem in disputes involving children, and other divorce and family law matters in juvenile courts.
An exclusive focus on family law
Mr. Benzinger is exclusively dedicated to family law, divorce, and all the issues that go with them:
- Child custody
- Property division and property settlement agreements
- Juvenile court
- Appeals
- Visitation
- Child support
- Spousal support (alimony)
- Paternity
- Prenuptial agreements
- Uncontested divorces
- Mediation/Alternative Dispute Resolution
- Marital property
Divorce mediation versus litigation
Mr. Benzinger favors legal solutions where both parties come to an amicable negotiated agreement rather than engaging in a contentious court battle. Settlements are less expensive, less time consuming, and markedly less stressful. When children are part of the equation, a resolution such as uncontested divorce or mediated agreement has much less potential for emotional trauma for any children involved.
While Mr. Benzinger feels that people are better off if they can settle, sometimes it is not possible. Divorce is an extremely emotional issue and it only takes one of the divorcing spouses to cause anger and a desire for revenge to prevent a reasonable approach. In those cases, he can draw upon years of experience as a skillful and aggressive family law and divorce attorney and litigator to advocate for your rights.
Whether a family law matter is resolved through mediation or litigation, however, it is always advisable to have a seasoned lawyer by your side to ensure that you receive everything to which you are entitled and your rights are protected. With 35 years in law practice, Mr. Benzinger is an experienced and respected family law attorney.
