Divorce and Related Matters
Family law cases are unlike any other types of litigation. Most people feel as though their world is falling apart. The issues involved are so personal, so intensely emotional, that an attorney needs to have an entirely different set of skills to properly represent a family law client.
A good family law attorney has to be patient, a good listener, supportive and willing to let his or her clients vent all the tumultuous emotions they're experiencing as a result of a divorce, child custody dispute or in actions involving restraining orders. In my opinion, an excellent family law attorney needs to be an amateur psychologist who can appropriately understand and support his or her clients. It's not just about filling out forms and doing paperwork. You need to listen to your client, you need to understand your client, and you need to be able to competently address your client's needs.
As an experienced Los Gatos, Campbell, Almaden Valley, Santa Cruz Mountains and Saratoga divorce attorney, I have handled extremely complicated cases involving valuation of professional practices and startup corporations, stock option divisions, cases involving both family law and bankruptcy proceedings, and dozens of cases involving multimillion-dollar estates. I have the expertise and knowledge to handle the most complex and intricate financial issues that can arise in a dissolution proceeding. See my page on divorce and related matters to learn more.
