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 Michigan’s 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.
