* Michele A Katz - Family Attorneys: Manhattan NY

Our family law attorneys are among the most highly-regarded practitioners in the field.

Our clients include high net worth individuals from the worlds of business, finance, the professions, government and entertainment, whose problems involve sophisticated financial, valuation and tax issues in all areas of family law, including divorce, child custody and visitation, geographic relocation, spousal and child support, negotiation of pre-nuptial, post-nuptial and separation agreements, same sex partner cohabitation and dissolution agreements, adoptions (including step-parent and second parent adoptions), grandparent visitation, and paternity matters.

Our family law attorneys have been and remain on the cutting edge of their field, frequently making new law in the area of domestic relations. We are called upon to litigate when matters are incapable of settlement or when issues arise for which there is no precedent.
