When it comes to divorce , many law firms prefer to take simple cases. They do not want ugly fights or complicated financial issues. But the longer you have been in a marriage, the greater your stake in it, and the more likely that a split will be intense.

Persons contemplating divorce, particularly when the marital assets are substantial or invested in a family-owned business, need informed and experienced legal advice to protect their rights. Likewise, in situations where a spouse has significantly contributed in some way to marital assets, or when the earning power of the union is concentrated in one partner, the spouse needs a wise and effective advocate.
