Business Owners Divorce
Do you own a business, or are you the spouse of a business owner? If so, then your divorce will likely be more complicated than divorces involving people who are employees paid on a W-2 form. If you are the business owner, we will attempt to protect any proprietary business information from being revealed to third parties, even if that requires a Court-ordered confidentiality agreement being signed. In addition, we will, as the attorney for the business owner, seek to minimize the contributions made by your spouse to the success of your business. Finally, we may have to retain our own forensic evaluation expert for use at trial if we are unable to settle the matter out of Court. On the other hand, if we represent the spouse of the business owner, we will insist upon complete financial disclosure of all aspects of the business operation, and will thoroughly review all financial records to ascertain any “business perks”, unreported income, etc. It is also essential that the divorce attorney that you hire have substantial experience handling divorces involving privately owned business. Our firm has represented all types of small business owners, from doctors, dentists, podiatrists in the medical field to small building contractors, the spouse of the owner of a Dunkin Donuts store, the spouse of a Carvel ice cream store owner, the owner of a maritime business with over 30 million dollars, etc. In addition to using an attorney with many years of experience handling divorces involving businesses, it is also essential that your divorce attorney have substantial trial experience. Nowadays with Judges pressuring litigants to settle cases, younger attorneys with only five or ten years of experience may try almost no cases at all! Talk to a young divorce attorney with four or five years of experience and they will frequently tell you that they have never tried a divorce case to verdict, but have only handled short half day or one day hearings. That is dangerous to your financial health! Our firm has tried cases that have gone on as long as 17 days! Do not hesitate to ask the divorce attorney that you are considering retaining about his or her trial experience and whether or not the attorney devotes his practice exclusively to divorce and family law, or whether the attorney is a “jack of all trades” general practitioner! We offer a confidential 30 minute initial consultation with Mr. Leininger for only $150.00. At that initial consultation, Mr. Leininger will answer all of your questions. We will then urge you to go home and think it over before making a decision as to whether or not you wish to retain our firm. No one will pressure you at the end of that initial consultation to hire our firm! Moreover, should you retain our firm within 30 days of the date of the date of the initial consultation, we will even re-credit you for the $100.00 fee on your first monthly invoice. What have you got to lose?
