Family Lawyers

Services related to the dissolution of a marriage can be one of the most challenging assignments undertaken by any professional. Our firm's unique experience in both valuation, accounting and auditing, and forensic investigations has led to a multitude of assignments in this specialized area. We regularly assist lawyers and their clients in identifying separate and community property, tracing assets and claims for reimbursement and valuing the business interests owned by the community estate.

The identification and valuation of marital assets requires not only a thorough understanding of accepted accounting principals and valuation standards, but also an understanding of the various standards of "divorce value" incorporated in the law of the various states. In Texas, for instance it is necessary to separate the goodwill or intangible value of the business into two components, that which is personal to the owner/spouse and that which is a part of the business. Our knowledge and experience in these complex areas has served our clients for over twenty-five years.
