We seek to resolve domestic relations disputes as amicably as possible, keeping the family fabric and the family’s wealth as intact as possible while, at the same time, preserving our clients’ interests. Our attorneys can see through the haze of seemingly complex disputes and distill them down into basic problems which are more easily solved.

We use a team approach, assigning tasks to the most cost effective professional capable of performing it, giving us and our clients the flexibility needed to sustain protracted legal battles; and to resist threats of the same.
