Areas of Practice

Separation, Divorce, Mediation

A majority of our State District Court practice is devoted to family law. Jim Siemens is a Board Certified Family Law Specialist.  He represents clients dealing with separation from a spouse and all of the issues that arise from separation. These issues include child custody, child support, spousal support, alimony, the division of marital assets (known as equitable distribution) and divorce.

In 2003, Jim was certified, by the North Carolina Supreme Court dispute resolution commission, to mediate family law related matters. Mediation is now mandatory in both child custody cases and equitable distribution cases in several Western North Carolina Judicial Districts. Jim is available to mediate family law disputes. Jim's mediation training also makes him a more effective lawyer representing a client at a mediated settlement conference.
