As a law firm dedicated exclusively to the practice of matrimonial and family law, Berger Schatz provides its clients with the full array of legal services needed to resolve their matrimonial and family law issues.
Divorce cases involving substantial assets or complex estates require specialized knowledge. Berger Schatz attorneys are skilled at identifying and valuing assets and wealth, including real estate, securities, business interests, retirement funds, pension plans, tax shelters (domestic and foreign), overseas accounts, stock options, trusts and other actual or potential sources of wealth.
Resolving matrimonial disputes requires patient, persistent negotiation. But to be most effective, negotiation must be balanced by the skills and resources to litigate at the highest levels. Berger Schatz attorneys are experienced litigators–precisely the experience that allows us to avoid litigation when possible, and to prevail in court when necessary. We also have extensive experience negotiating and drafting pre-nuptial and post-nuptial agreements to provide our clients with reliable, long-term security.
Securing the stability and support of children whose parents are involved in matrimonial or paternity disputes requires both skill and compassion. Berger Schatz attorneys are experienced at resolving child-related issues efficiently, keeping both the children’s and the client’s best interests at the forefront.
