About the Author – Binoye Jos, Family Law Attorney

I often tell clients that family law is one of the few areas where the legal world directly meets the emotional world, where court deadlines mix with school schedules, and where legal decisions reshape real lives. My work at Jos Family Law is rooted in something deeper than statutes and case law. It comes from my own experience, one that reshaped my life, my career, and ultimately, my purpose.

For more than twenty years, I built a successful career managing and training over a thousand marketing directors. I enjoyed the work, the strategy, and the people. But nothing prepared me for the personal storm that followed, a custody battle after a short marriage that lasted only two years, but stretched into five long, exhausting years of litigation.

Two high-profile attorneys, 198 filings, and more than $400,000 later, I still didn’t have orders that protected my child’s best interests. I felt unheard, unseen, and worst of all, powerless.

So I did the only thing left to do. I learned the law myself.

I represented my own case, stood in court alone, and fought with everything a parent can fight with. Within just a few months, while working full-time and taking care of my young son, I won 50 percent custody. That moment not only changed my life, but it also redefined it.

I left my career, went to law school with a new sense of mission, and chose to build a firm that protects children and families with the same drive, urgency, and tenacity that fueled my own fight.

  • I’ve been on both sides.
  • I know the fear.
  • I know the frustration.
  • And I know the way forward.

Why I Practice Family Law?

Family law isn’t paperwork to me. It’s a responsibility. When people trust me with their children, their home, or their future, it’s never something I take lightly. Litigation, especially when kids are involved, can feel overwhelming, uneven, and emotionally draining. I stand beside my clients because I know what it feels like when your world is suddenly measured in court hearings, declarations, and custody evaluations.

What keeps me motivated every day isn’t the courtroom itself; it’s the privilege of helping a parent reclaim stability, safety, and confidence during one of the hardest chapters of their lives.


What I Bring to Every Case

Over the years, I’ve learned that clients need more than legal answers. They need stability. They need clarity. And they need someone who takes their case as seriously as they do, which is exactly how I approach every file that crosses my desk.

My Core Commitments

  • Every client deserves honesty and clarity, even when the situation is complicated.
  • Children’s best interests always come first, no matter how intense the dispute.
  • Preparation wins cases, so I build every matter with thoroughness and strategy.
  • Communication is non-negotiable; my clients never feel lost or forgotten.
  • Winning is a habit. I show up fully, every single day.

The day I lose that passion is the day I step away from this profession.


A Philosophy Built from Experience

People often ask what makes my approach different. The answer is simple. I understand the emotional cost of litigation because I lived it. No textbook could teach me what those years taught me about resilience, strategy, and human emotion.

This background shapes how I work.

  • I listen carefully, because I know how damaging it feels when no one listens.
  • I analyze cases creatively because sometimes typical strategies are not enough.
  • I prepare clients for the emotional and procedural realities, so nothing blindsides them.
  • I fight as if it were my own family on the line, because in many ways, it feels that personally.

Guiding Families Through Difficult Transitions

Every family law case is different, but the stress, uncertainty, and fear often feel the same. Whether someone is facing a custody battle, a divorce, or a complex financial dispute, my approach stays steady and client-centered.

Below are a few things clients can expect when working with me.

1. Strategic Guidance Through Every Phase

Family law cases don’t move in a straight line. There are filings, hearings, negotiations, evaluations, and sometimes unexpected turns. I help clients understand:

  • What happens next
  • What decisions need to be made
  • How each step affects their long-term goals
  • Which strategies protect their parental rights

Clarity alone often brings tremendous relief.

2. Practical Real World Direction

Because I’ve handled hundreds of cases and lived through my own, my advice is grounded in practicality. I help clients understand:

  • What evidence matters most
  • How judges typically view certain disputes
  • What behavior strengthens or weakens a case
  • How to communicate effectively with co-parents

Many clients tell me this perspective helps them stay grounded.

3. A Steady Hand in High Conflict Cases

Some matters are straightforward. Many aren’t. I work with cases involving:

  • High conflict custody
  • Allegations or misrepresentations
  • Relocation disputes
  • Significant marital assets
  • Contested support claims
  • Complex procedural issues

When one parent is aggressive or unpredictable, strategy becomes even more important. My role is to steady the situation, protect the client, and keep the case moving in the right direction.


What I’ve Learned from Helping Hundreds of Families

People don’t come to a family law attorney at their best. They come at their most vulnerable. And that is why compassion matters as much as competence.

Small decisions create major outcomes.

A single missed deadline or poorly phrased filing can change the entire trajectory.

Children feel everything.

Even when they’re quiet. Even when parents try to shield them.

Preparation is the foundation of success.

Every declaration, exhibit, and hearing deserves complete attention.

Hope is powerful.

Sometimes all someone needs is a reminder that their situation can change, and it often does.



Beyond the Courtroom

During the hardest period of my life, I was fortunate to rebuild, remarry, and raise three wonderful children in a peaceful home. That stability fuels what I bring to others. It reminds me daily that there is life beyond litigation. Families do heal, children do thrive, and better days do come.

The journey through family court may feel long, but it doesn’t define you. It doesn’t define your children. And it certainly doesn’t determine your future.

Thank you very much to Mr. Jos and to all his group of professionals who helped me get out of my child support case with a very good result. Each case is different and my case was very complicated. I live in the state of Virginia and the child support office of the state of California was starting a case against me, the amount they wanted me to pay was ridiculously high I didn't know what to do because I don't live in California and I had never met the child either. I searched online for a lawyer in California and thank God I found Mr. Jos's law office. I don't know them personally but I put my trust in them and they didn't disappoint me. We had very good communication despite the distance and they were always available to talk to me and clarify my doubts. Mr. James was the one who took my case to the end and after a long and very difficult process everything went very well in my favor much more than expected. I am very grateful to God for putting the entire team of professionals from Mr. Jos' office on my way. Words are not enough for me to describe everything they did for me and how grateful I am. I definitely recommend Mr. Jos's law firm. Thank you Mr. James for not giving up in my case and having achieved a magnificent result in my favor.

This was the second attorney that represented me for my divorce. Binoye is a very knowledgeable, fair, and professional attorney. They are reliable and this made my experience way less painful. They are definitely not greedy for money, they are not one of the many attorneys out there who overbill for their services. I truly recommend them.

JOS family Law took on my case which entailed custody and move away components and I honestly could not say enough great things about JOS Family Law! Mr. Jos is not only extremely knowledgeable and professional, but it is also extremely obvious how much he cares for his clients on a personal level as well. There is an expression that two heads are better than one, however, Mr. Jos' philosophy takes it further as eight heads are better than two. It was so impressive and reassuring how collaborative everyone at the office works together to meet on regular cadences and discuss their client's cases to brainstorm strategies in order to seek the best possible outcome for their clients. Mr. Jos has an amazing team of extremely talented and knowledgeable attorneys that have worked together on my case. James was the lead attorney on my case and also represented me in my hearing. James was able to get us everything we were asking for as he successfully proved that full custody remaining with me is in the best interest of the children and that the move away is in the best interest of the children as well. We were able to come up with a plan to ensure that the children's mother can visit regularly and still maintain a healthy relationship. James is a rock star attorney! I would without hesitation refer anyone seeking help in a family law matter to call Jos Family Law!
