Family law encompasses some of the most sensitive and emotional matters in a person’s life. For this reason, the people who guide you to a resolution should lead with compassion and have a proven record of success. The professionals featured in our Who’s Who include attorneys who both litigate and mediate, and financial advisors who ensure your assets are protected and fairly distributed, but most of all, it’s their understanding and respect for clients’ individual situations that make them worthy of this recognition.
