Expert Division of High-Value and Complex Assets

Business interests. Investment properties. Stock options. Trusts. When substantial holdings are at stake, you need an attorney with deep knowledge in business valuation and equitable property division. I bring extensive experience in complex asset division, combining legal skill with financial acumen. I take an aggressive and creative approach to find the best strategy for your high-net-worth divorce, protecting what you’ve worked hard to build.

High-Net-Worth Divorce

Divorces involving substantial assets or complex business holdings often require specialized discovery and trained experts. I provide high-quality legal services custom-tailored to address the unique needs and concerns of your high-net-worth divorce.

Complex Property Division

One of the most crucial elements in high-asset divorces is successfully differentiating community property from separate property. I have a proven record of helping clients protect their separate assets, including inheritances, gifts, pre-marriage investments, and retirement accounts.

Retirement Accounts

I help you devise strategies to protect your annuities, 401(k) plans, IRAs, and pensions. I’m also experienced in drafting Qualified Domestic Relations Orders (QDROs) to divide retirement funds at a future date while minimizing tax consequences.

Business and Investment Interests

Valuing business and investment interests requires both legal insight and financial expertise. I have extensive experience in:

Business Interests

If you or your spouse has an interest in a closely held business, I’ll work with business valuation experts to determine the true value and the portion that constitutes community property subject to division.

Real Estate

Whether it’s your marital home, vacation property, or investment real estate, I’ll assess the value of residential or commercial holdings. When necessary, I work with appraisers and real estate experts to determine fair market value for equitable division.

Stock Options

Stock options have become increasingly common compensation, but valuing future purchase rights can be complicated. I consult with financial experts to determine current value or plan for division when options are exercised.

Trusts

Dividing trust assets or a spouse’s interest in a trust poses unique challenges depending on the trust type and beneficiaries. I thoroughly investigate trust value and assets to determine what portion may be community property in your divorce.
