What We Handle
Divorce
Contested or uncontested, we've been through it hundreds of times. We'll walk you through every stage, fight for a fair outcome, and keep things moving so you can get on with your life.
Separation Agreements
You don't always need court. A good separation agreement saves time, money, and a lot of stress. We negotiate terms that hold up and let both sides move on.
Division of Assets
Property, pensions, business interests, foreign assets. When money gets complicated, you need a team that understands corporate and tax law, not just family law. We have all three under one roof.
Cohabitation Agreements
Living together without a marriage certificate doesn't mean you have no rights. We draft clear, enforceable agreements so you both know exactly where you stand.
Why People Hire Us
We fight for what matters most.
When there are kids involved, every decision matters more. We handle custody, support, and parenting arrangements with the weight they deserve, because your children's stability is what's really at stake.
We settle when we can. We fight when we have to.
We try to settle every case we can. Mediation, arbitration, negotiation. But if the other side won't be reasonable, we go to court. Our founding partners are former Federal Crown Prosecutors. They know how to win a courtroom.
One firm for the whole picture.
Divorce doesn't stay in one lane. Your custody case might overlap with criminal law. Your assets might involve a corporation. We have family, criminal, civil, and corporate lawyers all working together, so you don't have to hire three different firms.
