Representative Outcomes:

• Preserved Business Ownership and Income Stream in Divorce: Represented a business owner in a high-stakes divorce involving a closely held company. Achieved consensus on business valuation between parties, resulting in a settlement that avoided costly litigation and the risk of a forced liquidation. As a result, the client maintained full control of the business, preserved its operational continuity, and secured a stable post-divorce income stream, supporting long-term financial independence.
• Secured Full Custody for Father and Reversed Prior Ruling: Successfully modified a prior custody determination, resulting in the father being awarded full custody of the parties’ children and mother being ordered to provide financial support for the children. This outcome was achieved through strategic counseling that helped the client prioritize his long-term goals over short-term emotional reactions, positioning him for a compelling and credible presentation in court.
•  Exceeded Client’s Goals in Temporary Orders Hearing: Achieved a favorable court ruling at a temporary orders hearing by securing the father more time with his children than originally requested. Successfully defended against the opposing party’s request for indefinite temporary spousal support, resulting in a lower overall payment amount and significantly fewer support payments owed to the mother. This early win positioned the client for continued success in the case and strengthened his role in his children’s lives.
