Specializing in divorce valuation, Rich realizes that divorce is always a complicated process for all parties involved; it is emotionally and physically draining. This may be the first time that one of the parties has had to deal with the financial aspects of their relationship. Also, your client may (for the first time) have to prepare a budget and a personal financial statement which will include all assets, cash accounts, retirement plans and investment accounts. Many times one spouse owns a business that will need to be valued to properly allocate the marital portion to the non owning spouse. Surrounding yourself with the appropriate people who are extremely experienced and knowledgeable in all areas of this process is the best way to secure your future and the future of your loved ones. Rich Craig and the 415 Group have the experience needed to play a key role to support yourself and your attorney during litigation.
