How Jarrin & Stanifer, PLLC, Can Help

We understand that different challenges require different tools. Our firm covers the complete spectrum of legal needs: from peaceful mediation in family law to fighting for your rights in criminal jury trials. Here’s how we can help:

• Criminal defense: We protect clients facing serious, high-stakes allegations, including driving while impaired (DWI) and felony charges. While some attorneys seek the quickest settlement, we prepare every case with the expectation of going to trial.
• Family law: We offer a balanced approach to domestic issues, prioritizing peaceful resolution whenever possible. We help families face divorce, custody, and support disputes with dignity and efficiency.

Our attorneys returned to practice law in the community where they were raised. Put your trust in experienced lawyers who share your values.

Local Attorneys Helping You Deal With Life’s Challenges

We welcome people of all walks of life who are facing divorce, criminal charges or the aftermath of an injury accident. As a native Spanish speaker, attorney Jarrin is uniquely qualified to assist Spanish-speaking families in the local communities. She is attuned to the cultural differences and language barriers that may be a factor in family court matters.
