A forensic accountant analyzes complex financial data to identify income, trace assets, value businesses, and uncover discrepancies. Their work is often essential in high-asset divorces to ensure transparency and accuracy.

High-asset divorces involve substantial or complex financial holdings such as closely-held businesses, investment portfolios, stock options, deferred compensation, real estate holdings, and international assets. Most of our cases involve these types of holdings, and our attorneys have the depth of experience needed to handle these complex matters effectively. Sometimes, however, these cases also require collaboration with forensic accountants, valuation experts, and tax professionals to ensure accurate characterization and division.

Early preparation is critical. This includes organizing financial documents, identifying all assets and liabilities, and consulting with experienced counsel before taking any action that could impact your rights or financial position.

We represent clients in complex and high-stakes family law matters, including divorce, custody, support, and property division, with particular experience in high-asset estates, business ownership interests, executive compensation (including RSUs, stock options, and performance-based bonuses), and forensic financial analysis.
