About Us

Our Focus is to Obtain a Final Resolution so You Can Start a New Life

“The best result in any family law matter is final resolution,” Mr. Garibian notes in light of his years of experience helping clients through their divorce. “When things drag on and remain unresolved, nobody wins. The family is destroyed, the fees are excessive, and the best that can be done at that point is damage control.”

At GARIBIAN PC, be assured that we’ll help you make responsible and smart choices, so that you can achieve exactly what you need, when you need it, and for all the right reasons:

GET UP, GET IN and GET OUT OF COURT!

With the experience and dedication offered by Christopher Garibian, you can expect a fair, honest and cost-effective divorce action plan. Call us today for more information or to schedule your consultation.

Christopher Leon Garibian, Esq.

Mr. Garibian has been practicing law for the past twelve years passionately representing both men and women on all issues of family law.

Ask Mr. Garibian about his core philosophy of helping clients, and you’ll receive a potent three-word answer: action creates reaction. “To successfully handle a divorce,” Mr. Garibian advises, “there must be a plan of action to move through the process that includes an entrance strategy, an exit strategy and contingency plans.”

For you, this means that your divorce will be guided by a focused, strategic and customized action plan designed to achieve the best possible results in the least amount of time, expense and emotional toll.
