Press Release

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Following is a statement from Family Law Attorneys in Support of Judge Lisa Gorcyca:

BIRMINGHAM, Mich. Family law is one of the most difficult areas of practice. Judges
and attorneys have to deal with sensitive and often contentious issues. These include child
custody, child support, parenting time, spousal support, and the division of assets and debts.
These issues are compounded by the emotional turmoil of unhappy people who may be worried
or resentful of the fact that they are going through a divorce in the first place. Domestic violence,
parental alienation, difficult personalities, or a combination of all three, only further complicate
these cases. Too often, judges see good people on their worst behavior.
We are all attorneys who regularly practice family law in Michigans Oakland County and
appear before the Honorable Lisa Gorcyca. We can attest to her compassion for families and
her desire to zealously uphold the law. She considers all arguments before making a decision
and she does not rush to judgment. Her greatest concern is the best interest of the children
involved in divorce, custody, and parenting time disputes.
Judge Gorcyca has served on the Family Court bench for nearly eight years and has
gained a reputation as being a conscientious and even-handed judge. She treats litigants and
attorneys with courtesy and respect.
Recently, we believe that there has been a rush to judgment concerning a particularly
public case. As practitioners who have dedicated our careers to family law, we are offering our
support to Lisa Gorcyca, both as a jurist and as an individual.
