Additional Things to Consider in Minella Law Group ✨
Skilled representation: You can depend on our strong advocacy and thoroughness, and benefit from the negotiation skills of our experienced attorneys. If you are a professional or have substantial assets, divorce can involve many issues that necessitate representation that is typified by diligence and skilled advocacy. In complex marital estates, many issues can arise in connection with the characterization, division, and valuation of business and partnership interests, pensions, stock options, executive compensation, and real property. If you and your spouse have children together, we’ll diligently work to resolve your concerns regarding custody, child and spousal support, and modifying orders during and after divorce.
Forward-thinking attorneys: To fully advocate on your behalf, our advice to clients goes beyond resolving the immediate situation and involves evaluation of the future impact of the decisions that are made now. We’ll assess how to put you in the best position possible well after divorce when it comes to issues of asset protection, tax consequences, and protecting your standard of living and the well-being of your children. We’ll discuss the possibility of alternatives to litigation, such as mediation and collaborative law, which may be more beneficial to promoting your current and long term family and financial interests.
Personal client service: Our attorneys appreciate the value of respect in serving our clients. Especially in a divorce, we understand the uncertainty that you may be experiencing, which is why communication is key to providing you with effective representation. We’ll keep you fully informed and return your phone calls as quickly as possible, usually the same day.
