Driven by the ardent desire to establish a Family Law firm that puts the client-attorney relationship first, attorney Michael C. Pascoe started Silicon Valley Law Offices, P.C.

SVLO quickly grew to become a preeminent family law firm extending legal services to clients throughout the Bay Area, including: San Jose, Los Gatos, Menlo Park, Palo Alto, San Mateo and Fremont.

Prior to starting private practice and opening Silicon Valley Law Offices, Mr. Pascoe worked as a senior consultant for Deloitte, where he helped corporate clients by performing forensic work, analysing allegations of fraud or financial mismanagement and business valuations. Michael’s strong background in Business and Law has helped him navigate issues related to complex and high-asset property division. In addition to being a seasoned litigator, Michael has proven remarkable skill in negotiating settlements and mediating divorce cases for an amicable resolution, saving clients both time and money.
 
Receiving his bachelor's degree in communications from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Mr. Pascoe went on to complete his Master of Business Administration from Thunderbird School of Global Management (ranked No.1 in the world for international business).
