A Woman Led Firm with Proven Expertise Our firm is proudly led by Jacqueline Harounian, a top woman divorce attorney and leader shaping the future of divorce practice. The firm’s four partners have worked together for decades. This enduring collaboration reflects our stability, depth of experience, and commitment to delivering exceptional results.

We can assist you with protecting your children, sale or buyout of the marital home and business succession planning. We will also guide you regarding your estate and your legacy.
