Family Law

• Divorce
  When it comes to divorce and family law, one size does not fit all. Each case we handle is different, and for each we use a customized approach that we prepare in consultation with our clients. We are experienced in mediation, negotiation, and all aspects of litigation and trial practice. If your case can be resolved fairly, we will do that, through mediation or direct negotiations with your spouse’s attorney. If circumstances make such resolutions impossible, our experienced trial attorneys stand ready to protect your rights aggressively and effectively in the courts.
• Child Support
  Our family law attorneys are experienced in all aspects of divorce and child custody matters, alimony, child support, the division of property, payment for college, parental relocation, parental alienation mental health issues and all aspects of legal and physical custody. Our family law cases often involve the valuation and equitable division of marital assets, including residential or commercial real estate, business interests (including partnership interests, LLC interests and interests in other closely held businesses), securities and brokerage accounts, and deferred compensation such as pensions, restricted stock units (RSUs) and stock options. Our attorneys are experienced in identifying, analyzing and resolving all of these complex issues. And we are well prepared to provide advice, negotiate or litigate, consistent with each client’s goals and unique concerns.

We also educate clients about the complex panoply of laws and regulations that govern their treatment of employees. Finally, we have experience drafting employee handbooks, work rules and employment agreements of all types, and we frequently review and update these types of documents for employers.
