Divorce

Mr. Hayes and Ms. Thomas typically focus their practice on matters involving large estates or complex financial issues. Clients benefit from their collective experience and knowledge, as well as their commitment to providing sound legal counsel for every client—no matter the size of the estate or complexity of the issues.

Cases involving large estates or complex financial issues will almost certainly involve the use of one or more financial experts for business valuations or forensic accounting. Mr. Hayes and Ms. Thomas have a wealth of experience utilizing such experts, analyzing their reports, and/or cross examining opposing financial experts.

Cases involving large estates or complex financial issues often generate unique arguments, such as, “Should the producer of extraordinary wealth receive the majority of the marital estate?” or “Should the income stream of a business be used to both value the business and calculate an alimony award to the non-owner spouse, also referred to as ‘double-dipping’?”
