Firm Profile at a Glance

Core Areas of Expertise

High-Net-Worth Divorce & Complex Asset Division

Marriages involving substantial estates, closely held businesses, professional practices, or complicated executive compensation packages require much more than a basic property inventory. The firm regularly untangles complex asset structures by working alongside forensic accountants and valuation experts. They excel at tracing commingled funds, distinguishing separate from marital property, analyzing tax consequences, and protecting the long-term viability of corporate and professional entities.

High-Conflict Child Custody & Parenting Plans

When children are involved, emotional tension can quickly cloud legal strategies. The firm advocates firmly for arrangements that protect your parental rights while keeping the best interests of your children at the center of every decision. Their attorneys are highly experienced in handling delicate, high-stakes custody issues, including:

• Detailed, conflict-reducing parenting schedules
• Relocation requests and geographic restrictions
• Parental alienation allegations
• Forensic psychological evaluations

Child Support & Spousal Maintenance

Financial stability post-divorce depends on accurate, fair support structures. The firm ensures that New York guidelines are applied strictly and transparently, taking into account hidden streams of revenue, variable bonuses, self-employment income, and career sacrifices made during the marriage.
