Divorce for Men is a boutique law firm specializing in protecting father’s rights and the rights of their children. We only practice in two areas of the law, Family Law and Criminal Defense. Unfortunately, these two areas overlap in the form of Domestic Violence Injunctions, Domestic Battery.

Our firms approach is to minimize the pain and costs (emotional- financial; both present and future) of a divorce. This is accomplished through our experience. Divorce for Men was established by Alan Rosenthal in 1998, and we are proud that we have handled over 2500 cases since then with our clients receiving the benefit from this experience.
