We Cater to Your Specific Needs
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).
