On Family Law
“
Experience has taught us that taking a collaborative approach to family law matters can produce the most practical and cost-effective solutions in even the most contentious of situations. Collaborative practice offers clients the opportunity to retain a team of dedicated professionals at a fraction of the cost of litigation. We also offer bilingual family mediation services in a safe and confidential environment.

"Exceptional Family Law Attorney – Highly Recommend!
I cannot express enough how grateful I am to have had Mr. Duplain represent me during a challenging time in my life. From our very first meeting, it was clear that I was in the hands of a true professional who genuinely cares about his clients.
Mr. Duplain was not only incredibly knowledgeable about family law but also took the time to listen to my concerns and understand my situation. He made me feel heard and supported, which was invaluable during such a stressful period.
Throughout the entire process, Mr. Duplain was always available to answer my questions and provide guidance, ensuring that I was never left in the dark. His ability to explain complex legal terms in a way that was easy to understand made me feel empowered and informed every step of the way. Chelsea was also exceptional and always there to help in any way she could.
They make a very great team together.
In addition, what impressed me most was his attentiveness, compassion, understanding and commitment to achieving the best possible outcome for my case.
I wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Duplain to anyone seeking a family law attorney. His expertise, empathy, and dedication make his an outstanding advocate for his clients. Thank you, Mr. Duplain, for your exceptional service and support!" D.S.

This situation has been long overdue, and on days when I didn't have the strength, your confidence and assurance that all will be well gave me the courage to carry on.
I would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge and appreciate your professionalism, dedication, and unwavering desire to ensure that your clients get what they rightfully deserve. Your commitment to excellence and quality in your work have not gone unnoticed.
I would highly recommend Steve and Chelsea’s services to anyone in need of legal assistance. Thank you once again for your outstanding support and for going above and beyond in your efforts to help me through this difficult ordeal." T.

They communicated everything so clearly and helped to educate me a lot on family law throughout the process, at no point in our communications did I ever feel out of the loop! They responded quickly to all my communications and helped me to win my case, I am very happy with services and if anyone ever ask me for a family law recommendation, it’s going to be Duplain law 100%!"

"Mr. Duplain (and his paralegal Ms. Ross) present their cases and represent their clients with ethics, integrity, and morals. The legal system is one that is challenging however, regardless of outcome, you can be certain that they ensure that your materials are accurate, transparent, and assembled with care and quality. Pure professionalism, far and above any other legal counsel that I've witnessed." C.G.
