Services
Divorce Representation
Our divorce practice handles high-asset dissolutions and contested separations with strategic courtroom advocacy. We guide clients through property division, spousal support negotiations, and custody arrangements while minimizing emotional distress. Our attorneys leverage deep familiarity with New York equitable distribution laws to protect client interests during proceedings. With decades of combined experience, we deliver practical solutions that balance legal realities with personal needs.
Child Custody
We advocate for clients in contested custody matters focusing on children's best interests. Our approach combines legal expertise with compassionate counsel to develop enforceable parenting plans. Attorneys work closely with child welfare professionals and court-appointed experts to build compelling cases. We help clients establish custody arrangements that maintain meaningful parent-child relationships while addressing practical living situations.
Prenuptial Agreements
Our firm drafts comprehensive prenuptial agreements that protect individual assets and clarify financial expectations. We ensure documents comply with New York legal standards while addressing unique client circumstances. Attorneys provide balanced counsel to both parties, promoting transparency that strengthens marital foundations. These agreements help prevent contentious litigation should relationships dissolve.
Collaborative Law
We facilitate collaborative law processes that resolve family disputes without adversarial court battles. Our attorneys work with certified financial professionals and mental health experts to create mutually beneficial solutions. This approach preserves relationships while addressing complex issues like business valuation and retirement account division. Clients maintain control over outcomes rather than leaving decisions to judges.
Spousal Maintenance
Our practice handles spousal support matters involving high-income earners and complex financial portfolios. We analyze tax implications, lifestyle factors, and employment capabilities to determine appropriate maintenance arrangements. Attorneys effectively challenge unreasonable demands while ensuring clients receive fair support. We also modify existing orders when circumstances change significantly.
