With caring and sensitivity, we specialize in thorough case analysis, close personal attention to the client's needs, including all financial risks and liabilities. Experienced in the complexities of family affairs and aware of often conflicting family and individual interests, our role may involve negotiation and mediation, as well as litigation, to help achieve a timely and cost-effective resolution for our client and all parties. We vigorously represent our clients and candidly counsel them on sensitive issues, such as child custody and support and spousal maintenance. We represent our clients' interests regarding division of property, pensions, inheritance, real estate holdings and tax liabilities, which are often contested even in an otherwise amicable divorce proceeding. Under revised matrimonial laws, valuation of marital property has become a critical aspect of divorce cases. We are experienced in resolving the most complicated and otherwise difficult appraisal issues, which are often encountered when a business or professional practice is involved. As with other practice areas, our Matrimonial and Family Law clients benefit from the firm's expertise in Business Litigation, Real Estate, and Corporate Law practice areas.
