“Walk softly . . . and carry a big stick!”
                  -- President Teddy Roosevelt

Child custody and divorce lawyer Felix G. Poggemann has been in the thick of ugly courtroom battles and nasty arbitrations all across California.

But when children are involved, or the high emotions of a divorcing couple, Mr. Poggemann finds the low-key approach is better for everyone.

“I’ve adopted the Teddy Roosevelt theory,” says the successful child custody and divorce lawyer.  “I try to be as non-confrontational as possible.  But when it’s clear the negotiations are going to be difficult, I change tactics. I walk softly, but I carry a big stick.”

Felix G. Poggemann, A Law Corporation  , offers compromise, quicker settlement, and fewer hard feelings, not to mention lower attorney’s fees. The firm’s tread-lightly philosophy has resonated in the Folsom area. Mr. Poggemann serves many clients in Roseville, El Dorado Hills, and Granite City, as well as Rancho Cordova, Orangevale, Citrus Heights, and surrounding areas.

Experienced Divorce Lawyer

Mr. Poggemann paints a clear picture of what is possible and not possible for his clients in terms of custody, child support and division of assets.

If there are significant assets owned by the divorcing couple, Felix G. Poggemann uses his background in complex financial situations and a knack for cutting through the clutter to efficiently achieve an equitable property settlement. He makes sure his clients get their fair share of:

401(k), public employee pension or other retirement money

• Self-employment income and business interests
• The home and other real estate

Effective Child Custody Representation

Because the state of California requires mediation for child custody issues, Felix G. Poggemann believes custody cases are “won” by superior preparation.  He makes sure his clients are armed with referrals, documentation of the spouse’s behavior, and other evidence that weighs in their favor when the mediator makes a recommendation to the court.

Although he does everything he can to portray his client in the best light, Mr. Poggemann believes that in most cases, children are best served when both parents remain actively involved in their lives.

“We figure out the options and choose the one that best aligns with the child’s interests,” says Felix G. Poggemann. “Divorce and custody is a bunch of compromises. We adopt a position that is as much toward the client’s end of the spectrum” As we can, given the circumstances.
