01 — Overview
Steady counsel when family matters become legal ones
Separation touches your children, your home, your income and your plans. Our family team gives you a clear view of each from the first meeting, and a plan for protecting what matters most.
Most of our matters settle through negotiation or mediation. When they do not, Sarah Klein and her team have the trial experience to put your case before a judge with confidence, in New York or, for cross-border cases, alongside our London office.

05 — FAQ
Family Law questions, answered plainly
Do I need a lawyer if we agree on everything?
Even in an amicable separation, an agreement that is incomplete or poorly drafted can cause problems years later. We can review or draft it on a fixed fee so that it is enforceable and covers pensions, property and the children.
How is custody decided in New York?
Can I relocate with my children after a divorce?
Will a prenuptial agreement stand up in court?
