Protecting the family, improving the practice.

Welcome to the Northern California chapter of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers.

To be represented by a Fellow of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers is to be represented by a leading practitioner in the field of family law. The 1500 AAML Fellows across the United States are generally recognized by judges and attorneys as preeminent family law practitioners with a high level of knowledge, skill and integrity. Only 60 Northern California family lawyers have met the stringent admission requirements of the national organization required to become fellows of the Northern California chapter.
