More about this Area of Focus
General information

Our family law practice encompasses the core areas of:

  • Divorce (International and Domestic)
  • Child custody
  • Post-dissolution matters

In each of these areas, our family law lawyers provide attentive, responsive service, devoting personal attention to each client.
We offer the same level of individualized service that clients expect from a small, community-rooted firm.
At the same time, we offer the benefit of wide-ranging experience and knowledge — hallmarks of an established, sophisticated law firm.

Divorce

Divorce can jeopardize both parties financial stability and lifestyle. A central component of divorce is property division.
For couples with high-value assets, property division can readily become complex and require extensive investigation, compelling legal arguments and volumes of evidence.

Our divorce Lawyers are well-equipped to handle the sophisticated issues that arise in high-asset divorce cases, including property division and alimony.

We are familiar with the assets that often become contested in divorce cases, including

  • Real estate property
  • Business interests
  • Professional practices
  • Pensions and retirement accounts
  • Investment accounts

Our familiarity with related areas of law — such as business and real estate law — enhances our approach to complex divorce cases. Additionally, our divorce lawyers work with tax advisers, appraisers, business division and valuation experts, and other trusted experts to develop strong evidence in support of our clients positions.

Child Custody

Custody determinations often involve strong emotions, cherished dreams and fundamental values. When parents cannot agree on a feasible custody arrangement, protracted litigation may become necessary. With so much at stake, professional legal guidance is essential.

Our family law lawyers provide skilled guidance in child custody proceedings. We are intimately familiar with the legal standards involved in custody determinations.
As skilled litigators, we understand how to present a compelling case. Contact our team for a child custody lawyer free consultation.

Post-Dissolution Matters

Divorce cases do not always end with the filing of the divorce decree. Contested legal issues can continue to arise months and years after the initial divorce or child custody process concludes.

Our family law Lawyers handle all types of post-dissolution matters, including modifications and enforcement proceedings regarding alimony.
child custody, child relocations (including out-of-state relocations), child support obligations and other aspects of the divorce decree.
