Advanced Legal Resolutions LLC

Advanced Legal Resolutions LLC represents compassionate, skilled family law representation serving Las Cruces residents and surrounding southern New Mexico communities. Founded in 2016 by attorney Sarah Van Cott, the firm brings unique professional background combining government service with private family law practice. Sarah Van Cott's experience working with the New Mexico District Attorney and Human Services Department provides insight into family law enforcement, child support administration, and government agency perspectives that inform her representation. Located at 606 N Mesquite Street in Las Cruces, the firm combines professional expertise with commitment to compassionate advocacy.

Sarah Van Cott's establishment of Advanced Legal Resolutions in 2016 reflects deliberate choice to enter private practice focused on serving families navigating family law challenges. Her prior experience working with the New Mexico District Attorney's office provides intimate knowledge of criminal justice system and prosecution of family law-related crimes like domestic violence. Her experience with the Human Services Department reflects understanding of child support enforcement and administration—systems that directly affect family law cases. This government service background provides perspective that many private family law attorneys lack, enabling Van Cott to understand how government agencies approach family law matters and how administrative systems affect clients' cases.

The firm's founding in 2016 reflects establishment during a time when family law need remained strong. The firm's continued operation demonstrates success in serving Las Cruces families and proving valuable to the community. Sarah Van Cott's decision to focus on family law and commit to this practice area reflects genuine professional passion and commitment to serving families.

Advanced Legal Resolutions' family law practice encompasses the full spectrum of matters affecting New Mexico families. Divorce cases—from uncontested matters where parties agree on key terms to contested divorces involving property division disputes, custody conflicts, and support disagreements—receive skilled representation. The firm handles child custody matters with particular attention to children's wellbeing and both parents' rights. Child support determinations, modifications, and enforcement all fall within the firm's practice.

Domestic violence matters receive sensitive attention, reflecting recognition of the serious dynamics involved in abusive relationships. Sarah Van Cott's experience with government prosecution of domestic violence enables understanding of these cases' complexities and appropriate representation strategies. The firm provides protection to vulnerable family members while ensuring due process for all involved.

The firm also assists clients with prenuptial and postnuptial agreements—planning documents that enable couples to address financial arrangements, clarify asset ownership, and protect their interests. These agreements prove valuable for second marriages, situations with significant asset disparities, individuals with children from previous relationships, or anyone wanting to establish clear financial arrangements.

What distinguishes Advanced Legal Resolutions is Sarah Van Cott's combination of government service experience, private family law expertise, and commitment to compassionate advocacy. Rather than viewing legal representation as merely transactional service, Van Cott approaches client relationships with genuine understanding of the challenges families face. Clients report that Van Cott listens carefully, explains legal options clearly, provides realistic outcome assessments, and advocates effectively for their interests.

The firm's recognition of child support enforcement and modification reflects understanding that support obligations must adapt as circumstances change. Job loss, income changes, custody modifications, and other changed circumstances often warrant support modification. Van Cott provides skilled advocacy for clients seeking modifications when circumstances support adjustment.
