Our practice is devoted exclusively to matrimonial and family law, including divorce, custody, visitation, paternity, child and spousal support, pre/post nuptial agreements, separation agreements, cohabitation and dissolution agreements, neglect and abuse proceedings and appeals. We also practice Collaborative Law and, on occasion, are involved in the mediation of disputes.
The attorneys at DZG are recognized as both superb litigators and excellent negotiators. Our proven and well-known ability to successfully litigate both financial and custody issues greatly increases our ability to obtain favorable settlements through negotiation, which is achieved in the vast majority of our cases.
We generally handle cases which involve complex financial issues, including valuation of licenses, professional practices and business interests and celebrity goodwill for our clients, many of whom are high net worth individuals. We represent clients involved in difficult custody and visitation disputes, including international parental kidnapping and relocation matters. While we pride ourselves on being strong and aggressive adversaries, we are also extremely mindful of the effects of the disputes we handle on the lives of the children involved. We have been recognized as leaders in this field. Our attorneys are active in professional organizations and lecture and write extensively concerning those issues. In these highly charged and extremely emotional matters, both the Courts and our peers have turned to our attorneys for guidance in resolving seemingly intractable custody and visitation issues as well as complex economic disputes.
Whether we are called upon to litigate or negotiate, we take pride in structuring and executing creative, well-planned strategies to achieve our clients' goals, thereby enabling them to move forward with their lives.
