When your future is at stake, you want a knowledgeable advocate on your side. The Law Offices of Bruce G. Sandmeyer, Esq., has an excellent reputation — many clients come to the firm as referrals from other attorneys or from satisfied former clients.

A Lawyer Who Is On Your Side
Attorney Sandmeyer understands that you want to maximize the time you will be able to spend with your child. While Pennsylvania courts tend to award joint legal custody, there is still ample room to negotiate parenting time or visitation rights. He will fight hard to help you obtain an agreement that works or to modify an agreement when circumstances have changed significantly.
Similarly, while child support is regulated by the state and enforced by the county, alimony is never required. Whether you are seeking spousal support payments from your former spouse or believe that your ex’s request for alimony is unfair, Mr. Sandmeyer has the legal knowledge and experience necessary to advocate aggressively on your behalf. When a settlement cannot be arranged, he is an experienced litigator who isn’t afraid of custody or support trials.
