Our lawyers gather evidence and represent clients at hearings for emergency, temporary, and long-term protective orders. ### [LGBTQIA+ Family Law](https://westcoastdivorce.com/sacramento-lgbtqia-family-law-attorney) The Bay Area has long been home to a large LGBTQIA+ community.

Her and…” Ann Puig ## Why Bay Area Families Trust Hopper Hopper & Strebe Nobody needs a lawyer who overpromises. What matters is a Bay Area family lawyer who tells you clearly what to expect, then works to get there. Here's what you can expect when you work with our team: ### Familiar with Bay Area Courts Court procedures, filing requirements, and even judicial preferences can differ from one county to the next. Our family lawyers regularly appear in San Francisco Superior Court and neighboring county courts, so we know what to prepare for before a hearing even begins. ### Comfortable with Difficult Cases Not every case settles quietly. When a spouse won't negotiate in good faith or a custody dispute turns hostile, our attorneys don't back away. We prepare each case as if it's headed to trial, even while we work toward a settlement that avoids one. ### Careful with Complex Finances Property division gets complicated fast when restricted stock, deferred compensation, business ownership, or irregular income is involved. We bring in valuation professionals and tax specialists whenever the numbers call for it, so nothing gets left off the table. ### Honest from the First Conversation False promises about how a case will turn out don't help anyone. You'll get a realistic read on the facts, the likely paths forward, and a strategy built around the outcome you're actually trying to reach. ## Frequently Asked Questions About Bay Area Family Law **How long does a California divorce take?** California requires a minimum six-month waiting period after the other spouse is served, along with six months of residency in the state and three months in the filing county. **How fast can I get a restraining order in the Bay Area?** An emergency protective order can be granted the same day in urgent situations, while a temporary restraining order typically holds until a full court hearing within about three weeks. **Can a custody or support order be changed later?** **Yes.** Either parent can ask the court to modify custody or support after a genuine change in circumstances, such as a job loss, a move, or a shift in the child's needs. **Will my case have to go to court?** Only when it has to. We push for a resolution through negotiation first, but with the stock options, real estate, and multi-county custody schedules common to Bay Area cases, some disputes only get resolved in front of a judge, and we go in prepared. ## Bay Area Office Locations for Hopper Hopper & Strebe Hopper Hopper & Strebe meets people across the Bay Area at our San Francisco office by appointment, backed by our Sacramento and Roseville offices serving Northern California. **Sacramento County** - [Sacramento](https://westcoastdivorce.com/sacramento-family-law-attorney) - [Elk Grove](https://westcoastdivorce.com/elk-grove-family-law-attorney) - [Folsom](https://westcoastdivorce.com/folsom-family-law-attorney) by appointment only [555 Capitol Mall, Suite 785, Sacramento CA 95814](https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=Hopper%20Hopper%20%26%20Strebe&query_place_id=ChIJdSzHwNnRmoARWyH4xOxLcm0) **Placer County** - [Roseville](https://westcoastdivorce.com/roseville-family-law-attorney) - [Rocklin](https://westcoastdivorce.com/locations/rocklin-family-law-attorney) - [Granite Bay](https://westcoastdivorce.com/locations/granite-bay-family-law-attorney) - [Auburn](https://westcoastdivorce.com/locations/auburn-divorce-lawyer) by appointment only [916 Highland Pointe Drive, Suite 250, Roseville CA 95678](https://maps.app.goo.gl/otDdQoUC54PJC4PNA) **El Dorado County** - [El Dorado Hills](https://westcoastdivorce.com/el-dorado-hills-family-law-attorney) - Placerville by appointment only [5170 Golden Foothill Pkwy, El Dorado Hills, CA 95762](https://maps.app.goo.gl/y6ohXgvTBtM4kQiu7) **Yolo County** - [Woodland](https://westcoastdivorce.com/woodland-family-law-attorney) **San Mateo County** - [San Mateo](https://westcoastdivorce.com/locations/san-mateo-family-law-attorney) **San Francisco County** - [San Francisco](https://westcoastdivorce.com/san-francisco-family-lawyer) by appointment only [100 Pine Street, Suite 1250, San Francisco, CA 94111](https://maps.app.goo.gl/18ceTvTJUAHKpizz6) **Contra Costa County** - [Walnut Creek](https://westcoastdivorce.com/walnut-creek-family-law-attorney) [Marin County](https://westcoastdivorce.com/marin-county-family-law-attorney) [Bay Area](https://westcoastdivorce.com/locations/bay-area-family-law-attorney) **Amador County** - [Jackson](https://westcoastdivorce.com/jackson-family-attorney) ## Your Bay Area Case Deserves a Real Plan From early questions to court dates on the calendar, Hopper Hopper & Strebe is ready to review your case and lay out your options.
