A family law case is not something most people plan for, and when it arrives, your children and your financial stability are suddenly in question. Lancaster Law Group represents Lititz families through those moments from an office a short drive south in downtown Lancaster.
We serve Lititz a short drive north of downtown from our office on East King Street in downtown Lancaster, directly across from the courthouse. We meet clients in person, by video conference, and by phone.
Schedule a consultation: call (717) 696-6504 or book a time online. We will review your situation and tell you, in plain terms, what your options are.

Lititz is in north-central Lancaster County, roughly 8 miles from the courthouse in downtown Lancaster along Route 501. Divorce and custody filings go to the Prothonotary at the courthouse; child support matters are handled through the Lancaster County Domestic Relations Section at the same location.
The same court hears every Lancaster County family law matter we take, and for clients who prefer to keep trips to a minimum, we handle much of a case by video and phone.
Why Lititz Families Trust Lancaster Law Group
Lititz families do not have to take the first firm they find. Here is what makes ours different. It comes back to the line the firm is built on: a firm commitment to trust.
The first call is a conversation, not a commitment. You tell us what is going on, we give you a straight answer about whether you need us, and nobody pushes you toward anything. Lititz families often call simply to weigh their options, and the first conversation exists for exactly that.
We build cases the way you would want yours built. Lancaster County family law rarely stays in one lane. Custody intersects with support. Divorce intersects with property. When your situation is complicated, we treat it as one connected problem, build your strategy around how each piece affects the others, and prepare to argue it in court if that is what protecting your position requires.
You will always know where your case stands. At every step, you will hear from us what is required next, what outcomes are genuinely on the table, and what you will need to decide. A family law case carries enough uncertainty on its own; we work to take the guesswork about your own representation off the pile.
We are staffed for cases that do not fit a template. Our partner Shawnee S. Burton is a Fellow of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers, a selective national credential earned by demonstrated, peer-recognized experience in complex family law, and founder Joseph P. McMahon, known for being thorough, knowledgeable, and aggressive, tried cases as an assistant district attorney before advising clients. You can meet the attorneys who would handle your case, and for Lititz clients facing high-asset divorce, contested custody, or a case headed to trial, that depth means an attorney who has handled situations like yours and is ready to fight for the outcome that protects you.
No outcome guarantees. Only preparation. We will not promise you a result, because no honest lawyer can. What we commit to is the work: building your case, knowing the court, and being ready to argue it if a hearing is where your matter ends up. When a family law matter requires litigation, we are not adjusting to it. We are already prepared for it.
What to Expect When You Call
You do not need to prepare anything before calling. For Lititz clients, here is what the first step looks like:
- First, we hear you out. Give us the situation however it comes out. We will ask what we need to and let you tell it your way.
- Then we lay out the law. We tell you what Pennsylvania law actually says for a situation like yours, in language that makes sense.
- Then we point to the next step. You hang up knowing what comes next, from filing or responding to collecting records or taking time to decide.
Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to come into the office, or can we handle this remotely?
Lititz is about eight miles north of the courthouse along Route 501, a manageable drive into the city. We also handle consultations and case work by video and phone.
I live in Warwick Township or Rothsville near Lititz. Do you serve those areas?
