Successes
High Net Worth – High Profile Divorce – With Discretion
Client came to us for a divorce. The parties were well known, and our client expressed concern about discretion and privacy. We were able to complete their divorce, with a generous settlement for our client without public disclosure and unwanted publicity.
High Net Worth Divorce – Complex Marital Assets
Client came to us after being with another attorney. Marital assets were complex consisting of real property, multiple vehicles, and complex financial assets. Client also was being denied parenting time with the parties’ children. Client’s prior attorney indicated that the only choice was to go to trial and that client should give up on the children because they were teenagers and did not want to see our client. We were able to arrange a court appointed mediator through a pilot program with the court. After two meetings with the mediator, the matter was resolved in a manner satisfactory to our client which included parenting time with the children.
Post Divorce – High Net Worth – Denial Of Request For Additional Support
After our client, who was the less monied spouse, was divorced they obtained different employment where they were earning a much higher income than what they were making at the time of divorce. Our client’s former spouse was the residential custodial parent. When our client’s former spouse learned of our client’s increase in income, the former spouse requested that our client pay increased support. We successfully opposed the request made by our client’s former spouse by pointing out to the court that the needs of the children had not changed and were more than adequately being met. The court agreed with our argument and issued a decision awarding our client’s spouse a small percentage of the amount requested in their papers for increased support.
Divorce – Highly Contested – Special Needs Children, Division Of Marital Assets, Domestic Violence
Client came to us because of a divorce. The spouse requested custody of the parties’ children who each had special needs. The spouse claimed that our client was not physically able to care for the children and that our client was not entitled to have exclusive use and occupancy of the marital residence. Our client claimed that the spouse had been physical abusive. We obtained an order of protection for our client. After litigation, we obtained sole custody of the children for our client as well as ownership and occupancy of the marital residence, a fair distribution of marital assets and spousal and child support.
Divorce – Client With High Profile Spouse
Client came to us because their prior attorney told them that they would not obtain any of the marital assets or support because the calculations indicated that our client actually owed the high-profile spouse money due to renovations on the parties’ multiple real estate holdings. Our client’s prior attorney was well known and advised our client that they should just settle as indicated by the attorneys for the spouse. The case was scheduled for the next court appearance shortly after we were retained. We were able to successfully negotiate a settlement for our client, which included generous support, and their fair share of the marital assets including a portion of the marital real properties.
Divorce-High Profile Client With Public Figure Spouse
Client came to us because their public figure spouse was seeking sole custody of their child claiming that our client had mental illness. The spouse also refused to pay our client child support or maintenance or permit our client to continue in the business that was established during the marriage. We successfully obtained custody of the child for our client, as well as child and spousal support. Our client was further awarded the customer list for the marital business and the right to start a successor business to the business that the parties established during the marriage.
Divorce – High net worth
Client came to us because they felt that their prior attorney was not advocating for them strongly. Prior attorney told our client that they should accept the offer being made by the spouse’s attorneys.

After depositions and trial, our client received a decision from the court that was much higher than the settlement offer was when the client first came to us.
Divorce – Marital assets
