Dedicated to Protecting Your Business Interests

Many of our family law clients have business interests in one form or another: the sole owner of an enterprise who is likely to figure prominently in a divorce or legal separation; ownership of substantial interests such as stocks in a business; or are joint owners of a successful enterprise.

Each of these scenarios presents unique legal and personal challenges for our clients. We are committed to helping you with all your legal needs. This requires superior legal knowledge and experience, as well as an intuitive business approach to protecting your interests. We are uniquely qualified to help our clients retain the business success that they have worked hard to achieve.
