An experienced Lawyer is Valuable 
"Insurance" through the Process of Divorce

When a marriage breaks down, there is usually emotional pain, lifestyle disruption, and, especially when there are children, anguished decision-making that cannot be avoided. Whether a wife or husband is actively pursuing a divorce or feels forced into it, each individual in the family needs legal protection and resolution of loose ends to move forward.

The combination of long-term legal, economic and emotional repercussions of divorce make prompt, honest consultation with a highly qualified divorce attorney a "must". Legal counsel is not a luxury when planning and strategizing the most reasonable means to achieve a marital dissolution. Strong, reliable legal advice and assistance regarding divorce is as essential to responsible life planning as is having an estate planning, investment, or business law attorney.

Legal Counsel, Mediation, Arbitration, Litigation

We start by counseling individual spouses and/or couples experiencing matrimonial distress on how to proceed. Typically, a divorce will be settled through mediation or arbitration and go to litigation only if necessary. At Sommers Schwartz, our emphasis is on finding ethical and rational solutions to family problems with the goal of making litigation the last resort in a matrimonial dispute. To that end, we offer clients the full benefit of our experience in matrimonial cases involving any of the following:

• Significant assets
• Pension issues
• Business evaluation
• Spousal support questions
• Tax-related property issues
• Child custody disputes
• Post-judgment matters

Individual divorce attorneys of Sommers Schwartz have been recognized professionally by the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers and the prestigious list of Best Lawyers in America. The measure of our success that we consider most important, however, is our record of success at favorably resolving complex domestic conflicts on behalf of our clients.
