Leech Tishman’s family law attorneys are highly skilled in both routine and complex family law issues, with a vast amount of experience representing high net worth individuals in sophisticated legal matters.

Our team is committed to offering clients a highly-personalized experience, protecting the best interests of both our client and their family. We work closely with our clients to address divorce, separation, and matrimonial matters, including clients’ valuation issues, the equitable distribution of marital assets for high-income couples, valuation of businesses, and premarital and post-marital agreements. In addition, our family law attorneys routinely assist clients with child custody, spousal/child support, adoption, guardianship, protection from abuse matters, and more.

Because of our years of experience handling high net worth matters, our attorneys have developed strong professional relationships with financial professionals, forensic accountants, and divorce financial planners to assist with complex valuations and planning for life after divorce. Our attorneys understand the complicated financial foundations of many family law matters, as well as the significant emotional implications involved, and we pride ourselves on partnering with our clients to support them during major life events.

Leech Tishman’s Family Law attorneys have experience protecting our client’s property, their financial future, and their personal relationships as they navigate the unique challenges encountered through family law practice.

Our family law lawyers have developed our practice by focusing on your needs and your family’s needs. We have experience advocating in divorce and child custody cases, offering counsel to parents as they undergo the adoption process, and obtaining and maintaining guardianship when it is necessary to manage another’s financial or personal affairs. We also have experience with alternative dispute resolution, acting as impartial facilitators to allow clients the opportunity to reach a resolution in a civil manner within the family court. Leech Tishman’s attorneys have supported our client negotiations that occur outside of the courtroom, as well as in litigating matters when needed.
