Dedicated to family law

Our wide-ranging experience is built on decades of experience in every aspects of family law, including:

  • Divorce/dissolution of marriage. We offer professional advice, strategies and representation in all aspects of dissolution of marriage cases, including identification, characterization, valuation and division of property and debts; determination of income relative to child and spousal support; and issues related to custody and visitation of minor children. Our staff of attorneys is equally comfortable in high-net-worth cases and those involving more modest assets.
  • Paternity/parentage. Parentage cases, also referred to as “paternity cases,” involve the determination of child custody and child support for children of unmarried couples. We have substantial experience representing both mothers and fathers in parentage cases.
  • Child custody. Our legal team has substantial experience representing parents in child custody cases, whether relating to divorce, parentage or dependency court cases, including post-judgment modification of existing child custody orders. Child custody is often the most emotional aspect of a divorce or paternity case. Our attorneys offer thoughtful, compassionate representation and will fight for your rights, and those of your children, in these cases.
  • Child support and spousal support. Child and spousal support are determined based on the respective incomes of the involved parties. In cases involving self-employed or high-earning individuals and those with cash or “under the table” incomes, determining net spendable income available for payment of support is often difficult. Our team of experienced attorneys, accountants and other collateral resources works diligently to uncover hidden sources of income, perquisites and other benefits received by each of the parties to ensure an appropriate result, whether in original or post-judgment modification situations.
  • Restraining orders. If you or your children are in danger from your spouse or partner, we act quickly to obtain restraining orders and work diligently to help ensure your safety. When your children are involved, we work to ensure their safety and your rights, so that you do not have to share custody with your abuser.
  • Breach of fiduciary duty. We work hard to uncover all assets and sources of income. When necessary, we enlist  the services of our extensive network of forensic accountants, appraisers and other collateral resources. We ensure that  nothing is hidden or concealed and that both parties are on equal footing. We fight for full and fair disclosure so you obtain the agreement, settlement or trial result to which you are entitled.
  • Prenuptial and post-nuptial agreements. Whether you are engaged,  married, or in a same-sex partnership,  long-term partnership or civil union, we can help you craft an agreement that serves your needs.
  • Domestic partnership rights. Domestic partnerships pose their own issues regarding child custody and visitation, division of property and support. Whether you are a same-sex couple or a long-term unmarried couple needing guidance in this area, we can help.

Whatever family law issues you face, our skilled attorneys can provide the advice and guidance you need to obtain a positive result.
