A Strong Advocate During Divorce

With over 20 years of legal experience, our family law attorneys have the skill and perseverance to fight for your goals. In addition, licensure to practice in the United States Tax Court enables our attorneys to better understand and resolve tax implications and financial concerns in property division, debt allocation, and other issues within divorce. We offer informative and aggressive representation in all contested or complex divorce matters, such as:

• Child custody: We protect our clients' parental rights in child custody matters, including establishing custody, visitation, child support, and future modifications of court orders.
• Property division: Our knowledge of tax and financial matters enables us to handle complex property division, such as division of real property (the marital home), pension plans, 401k plans, stock options, and separate premarital property. In addition, we handle business valuations, business division, and debt division such as allocation of credit card debt.
• Tax considerations: Our tax law understanding and skill enables us to effectively handle tax considerations arising in a divorce, such as capital gains, tax liability of spousal maintenance, recognition of estate and gift tax issues, and other asset division tax concerns.
• Alimony/spousal maintenance: Our investigation and trial skills enable us to convey accurate financial standing to the court in alimony disputes. We work to ensure payments are accurate when ordered.
• Prenuptial agreement disputes: We represent clients in contesting the validity of current prenuptial agreements at issue in a divorce. In addition, we represent individuals in enforcing prenuptial agreements in divorce.
