Practice Experience

• Assisted countless clients with young children to create estate plans that fit the needs of their growing families.
• Assisted numerous divorce clients in arranging a buyout of spousal support obligations, thereby allowing those clients to make future employment-related decisions based on their own needs and wants, and not their financial obligations to their former spouse.
• Helped several small business owner-clients obtain favorable resolutions of valuation disputes during divorce, thereby making it affordable for the clients to maintain sole ownership of the business after the divorce.
• Assisted countless divorce clients in negotiating placement schedules that fit the needs of their children without resorting to contentious (and costly) litigation.
• Helped ensure that clients who were the non-income earning spouse in long term marriages received support in an amount that allowed them to continue to live comfortably post-divorce without a significant change in their lifestyle.
• Assisted a client with separating herself financially from her spouse so that they could continue their relationship without fear of her spouse’s behavior impacting her financial stability.
• Negotiated a settlement that allowed a divorce client to keep all of the client’s retirement assets, thereby allowing the client to retire early as the client had originally planned.
• Assisted an estate planning client who owned real estate and a number of other assets in preparing an estate plan that allowed for the avoidance of probate with minimal upfront costs and without the need for an ongoing trust.
• Helped the family of a small business owner who had health issues with the untangling, reorganization and partial liquidation of various related business entities in order to preserve as many assets as possible for the owner to draw on during the remainder of his life.
