Sausalito Family Law Firm
Expert, Strategy-Driven Family Law in Marin County
Divorce and family law disputes do not have to become costly, drawn-out battles. In Sausalito, most matters resolve through strategic negotiation, structured mediation, and focused settlement. Litigation increases cost, prolongs uncertainty, and transfers control to the courts.
Warren Major LLP takes a different approach. The firm is highly selective, accepting only cases where our expertise in informal resolution and negotiation delivers real results. Nearly every case—99%—settles.
