This places him among a select group of California attorneys who have met rigorous standards for experience, examination, and peer evaluation. Before entering practice, Anderson interned for the Honorable Jaime Roman during Judge Roman’s tenure as a family law court judge, gaining direct exposure to judicial decision-making and courtroom process that few practitioners bring into their careers.

Family law matters are rarely straightforward, and the right path forward depends entirely on each client’s goals and circumstances. Full representation in Placer County Superior Court is one option. For clients better served outside of litigation, we also offer mediation, collaborative divorce, and limited scope (unbundled) legal services. These allow clients to hire us for specific parts of their case rather than full representation. Whatever approach aligns with our clients’ needs, that’s the one we take.
