Divorce and Separation 60%

DIVORCE: Over the past 32 years, I have handled practically every divorce issue imaginable, from very simple and amicable separations to bitterly contested multimillion dollar breakups. We have developed extensive experience dealing with the division and valuation of pensions, retirement plans, close corporations, professional practices, partnerships, stock options, brokerage accounts, and real estate - frequently resulting in our Clients receiving a far greater share of the community estate.

I highly recommend William Alberts

I am writing to recommend Bill Alberts as a family law attorney. I initially worked with Mr. Alberts in 2004 during my divorce. Mr. Alberts mediated my divorce versus going to court. Not only did I get the maximum amount of child support but he negotiated additional money for the children’s expens...es. In 2008, I was taken to court because my former husband wanted full custodianship of my children’s college accounts. There was a risk the money would be used for his personal gain. Mr. Alberts won the case and all funds were awarded to me to manage. Recently, I had to go to court due to my former husband not paying child support and was trying to have it legally reduced. Mr. Alberts came prepared with specific cases to show my former husband was intentionally underemployed. The judge ruled that he would not amend my decree; written by Mr. Alberts in 2004. Mr. Alberts is not only an exceptional trial lawyer but provides a calm manner when working with his clients that is reassuring when dealing with the traumatic experience of divorce or family issues that come as a result of it. He is also very ethical in his billing.
