Family Matters. We Understand.

A family in transition, especially in contentious situations, takes a toll on everyone involved. Our compassionate, experienced Family Law attorneys have been working in this field for decades and understand the significant emotional and financial impact a family upheaval can have. Our experience includes complex domestic relations matters that involve high-net-worth estates, business interests, and families with young children, and we provide a supportive approach throughout the process.   

In a high conflict divorce it is critical to draw on the expertise of our partners across the firm to assist with the full range of legal matters that may arise.  A complex division of assets often includes business interests and stock options, trusts, investments, real estate and more, as well as an assessment of the tax consequences of all financial decisions.   

When litigation is required, we aggressively pursue your rights in court in matters related to child custody, asset valuation, pre- and postnuptial agreements and other potentially contentious issues. In other instances, however, alternative approaches such as mediation or conciliation, may yield a more cost-effective and equally equitable result. During mediation, we can act as a neutral mediator or as an advisor to one party.

Our discreet and experienced team develops an effective legal strategy personalized to your unique circumstances.
