  1. Contact us via phone, email, or text to speak with our Intake Specialist about your case. We’ll pair you with the best-suited attorney.
  2. Consult with your attorney over the phone during an initial consultation. Get your questions answered and gain a general understanding of what you are facing.
  3. Retain Hightower Reff Law and your attorney. Paralegal will file the necessary paperwork to get the ball rolling.
  4. Develop your case with the best possible outcome. This part of the process looks different in each case but generally consists of information collection, conversation, negotiation, and potentially a temporary hearing.

Contested Divorce

Our divorce attorneys are prepared to help you navigate adversarial divorce proceedings. In the event that neither party can agree on how to settle the divorce, the Hightower Reff Law team will work to advocate for the results you want, from custody to the division of assets and beyond.

Uncontested Divorce

An uncontested divorce is similar to a collaborative divorce in that both parties agree on how the divorce should be settled. However, this process still typically involves the court system, and we’re ready to guide you through every step.

Collaborative Divorce

When both parties in a divorce work together amicably and are able to resolve things out of court, the process is considered a collaborative divorce. The Hightower Reff Law team is here to facilitate these negotiations. Often, this approach is faster and less expensive than traditional adversarial divorce. Let us assist in making your collaborative divorce go as smoothly as possible.
