High-Asset & Complex Divorce

Complex finances deserve careful analysis and practical advice. We help clients work through divorce involving business interests, real estate, and retirement accounts while keeping their family’s priorities in view.

A clear picture of the financial issues

A high-asset divorce can involve several kinds of property, competing financial priorities, and a substantial volume of records. Our work starts with understanding what you own, what you owe, and the questions that need to be resolved. We help organize the issues so you can make informed decisions about the next chapter of your life.

Business interests, real estate, and retirement accounts

Our firm handles family law matters involving privately owned businesses, real estate holdings, and retirement accounts. We consider how the financial pieces relate to one another, including the information needed to evaluate available options. For clients with business interests, we also focus on the practical concerns surrounding ownership, ongoing operations, and the financial information relevant to the case.

Working with forensic accountants when appropriate

Some matters call for additional financial expertise. When needed and appropriate, we work with forensic accountants to help analyze financial records and clarify the issues in dispute. We discuss the purpose and scope of that work with you so it supports the decisions your case requires.

Practical resolution, with care

Financial complexity is one part of a family law matter. We also help you address related questions about spousal support, child support, and parenting arrangements. Our goal is to provide clear advice and thoughtful advocacy that reflects your circumstances, whether resolution comes through negotiation, mediation, or court proceedings.

From our Walnut Creek office, our practice focuses primarily on Contra Costa County. We also welcome Alameda and Solano matters. Consultations take place by Zoom, and secure electronic document uploads are available to help you share information with the firm.
