With more than 100 years of collective experience in negotiating and litigating contested divorce and custody cases, the firm's attorneys recognize their professional obligation to be unstinting in their preparation and zealous in the presentation of your case to the court. We are associated with outstanding health care professionals and forensic accountants who are experts in custody matters and the valuations of professional practices, business interests, and deferred compensation packages including stock options. We also have extensive trial and appellate experience and have been strong advocates for our clients in the courtroom. Our clients have included CEOs of publicly traded corporations and owners of privately held businesses, hedge fund managers, owners of professional practices, doctors, lawyers, accountants, and sports and entertainment personalities.

Our legal team understands the emotional stress that often results from the divorce process and will provide the compassionate and empathetic support you need as you seek to end your marriage. We are sensitive to the needs of our clients who are going through a divorce and are dedicated to professional excellence and to achieving the best results. The important aspects of divorce today are to discern the value of closely held businesses, stock options, licenses of professionals, and the value of enhanced earnings of exceptional wage earners. In today's world, courts tend to ignore fault in divorce cases. Instead, they focus on financial issues in an attempt to value and distribute marital assets fairly, as well as to fix the proper amounts for child support and maintenance (alimony).
