- Property division — We have the skills to arrive at an accurate, creative and efficient division of retirement accounts, disposition of the family home and other assets, including consideration of the important tax considerations in the equitable distribution process
- Complex valuations — We consult with CPAs and other financial professionals to determine the sometimes-elusive value of a professional practice (like a medical practice or law firm) or a closely held business.
