Your Best Interests Protected, Today and Tomorrow
I represent high-asset, educated, savvy individuals who want to protect what they have built over a lifetime and avoid the destruction of business or personal assets in divorce. My family law clients include professionals, business owners, C-suite executives, and their spouses. I work to explain the range of potential outcomes to help clients understand their options and choose the best course of action. My goal is to help clients achieve the best possible outcome for their future so they can take care of what’s most important in life.
Here’s how:
- Focusing on family law settlement through a combination of perspective and skill that allows him to leverage his extensive courtroom and litigation experience when necessary.
- Putting clients’ minds at ease using a structured approach to both decision-making and the overall process that helps to relieve their stresses and show them a positive path to the future.
- Explaining options and providing guidance that helps clients make rational, economically sound, and well-informed decisions.
- Encouraging clients to look at the big picture when establishing priorities to avoid being distracted by frivolous matters.
- Obtaining more productive outcomes by treating all involved, including the opposing counsel and parties, with dignity and respect during the litigation process.
