Finding a High Net Worth
Divorce Attorney
• Allegations of impropriety, infidelity, substance abuse and instability are damaging
enough within the walls of a courtroom, and the salacious details of a divorce often
spread quickly. Rumors can cause irrevocable damage. So, in the interest of protecting a
person’s personal and/or professional reputation, a party may be pressured to enter into
an unfair settlement to avoid continuing a legal battle. Some of this behavior may rise to
the level of extortion or even blackmail, but for some, a payout may be less painful than
contentious, libelous and/or slanderous litigation. High Net Worth Divorce Attorneys can
help you avoid falling victim to these potential pitfalls and protect your assets.
• Finding the Right Attorney
• When dealing with a high net worth divorce, it is of the utmost importance that you
retain qualified, experienced and aggressive counsel. It is untrue that an attorney will only
be interested in representing you in order to bring in a substantial legal fee. Ethical
attorneys establish their fees and retainers upfront and are committed to zealous
representation, not financially exploiting their clients. If you are involved in a high net
worth divorce, it is your responsibility to do your due diligence and find the right legal
counsel to represent you. Be sure to check out peer-reviewed websites with client
testimonials and check out an attorney’s legal track record. A competent attorney will
guide you through your divorce, leaving you feeling confident that you are in qualified
hands.
