San Jose Litigation Attorneys
Wade Litigation’s San Jose law office represents individuals, families and businesses in Santa Clara County in Family Law, Probate Litigation and Civil Litigation. Our attorneys are litigators first: we prepare every matter as if it will be decided by a judge, which is what gives our clients leverage when a case can be settled and confidence when it cannot.
San Jose is the heart of Santa Clara County and the largest city in Northern California, and it and Santa Clara County has been Wade Litigation’s home since the firm was founded. Our headquarters in nearby Los Gatos is a short drive from the Santa Clara County Superior Court on Hedding Street and the Family Justice Center, where most San Jose family law matters are heard. That proximity means our attorneys know the local judges, the department procedures, and the practical realities of getting a case moving in one of the busiest courts in the state.
Our San Jose family law attorneys handle divorce, child custody and visitation, child and spousal support, domestic violence restraining orders, and the modification and enforcement of existing orders. Family cases carry emotional weight that other litigation does not, and we staff them with attorneys who practice family law every day, not as a sideline.
Our San Jose probate attorneys and probate litigation attorneys represent beneficiaries, trustees, executors and heirs in will contests, trust disputes, contested accountings, breach of fiduciary duty claims and elder financial abuse cases.
Our San Jose civil litigation lawyers take on breach of contract, business and partnership disputes, real estate litigation and appeals. We approach every case with a clear strategy for the outcome our client needs, whether that is reached through negotiation, mediation or trial.

San Jose Divorce Attorneys
A divorce in Santa Clara County follows California’s no-fault, community property rules, but how those rules are applied depends on preparation and advocacy. Our San Jose divorce attorneys guide clients from the first filing through the final judgment: residency requirements, the six-month waiting period, temporary support orders, financial disclosures, the division of community property and debt, and spousal support. We handle uncontested dissolutions efficiently and contested cases, including high-asset and business-owner divorces, with the thoroughness they demand.
San Jose Child Custody Attorneys
California courts decide custody on the best interest of the child, with no preference for mothers or fathers. Our San Jose child custody attorneys help parents establish parenting plans, litigate legal and physical custody, respond to relocation requests, and obtain emergency orders when a child’s safety is at risk. We also represent parents in post-judgment modifications when circumstances change and in enforcement when the other parent will not follow the order.
San Jose Family Law Attorneys
Beyond divorce and custody, our San Jose family law attorneys handle child support and spousal support, domestic violence restraining orders, parentage actions, prenuptial and postnuptial agreements, and the modification and enforcement of existing family court orders. Many of these matters arise inside a divorce; each can also stand alone, and each has its own statutes and deadlines that we manage for you.
