Practice Areas

Child Custody Advisors

Your children’s wellbeing is your top priority. Our family law attorneys will work to develop strategies that put their best interests first. The age of your children, any special needs they have, and your schedule inform our approach. Where appropriate, we engage top child psychologists, co-parent counselors, and reunification therapists to educate and work towards clients’ parenting goals. Where appropriate, we will engage professionals for full custody evaluations, psychological evaluations for the parties, and even substance abuse assessments. We guide parents through mediation and help determine the best age-appropriate visitation schedule for your family. Settlement is the number one goal in custody matters, but we will see our clients through contested custody hearings and trials when that is in the best interests of your children.

Forensic Accountants and Tax Experts

There are specialized accountants who are familiar with the unique issues that affect family law cases. Forensic accountants may work with our attorneys to help trace down community and separate property assets, determine income levels for child and spousal support, prepare business valuations and accountings of marital assets, settle reimbursement claims, and evaluate the marital standard of living. A great forensic accountant can make all the difference in a case with complicated financial issues.

It’s also important that clients do not overlook the tax implications of their divorce settlement. A tax expert can help you maximize your finances by helping you avoid pitfalls and create added value to your settlement.

Investment Advisors

There are families who may require some practical guidance from an investment advisor. If you already have a financial advisor, our family law attorneys will work with them to help forecast your post-divorce finances so that structured settlements and investments are in balance.

Business Counsel

Certain cases may require the guidance of outside legal counsel. Our lawyers may work with business counsel when complex business structures are in play or where it’s necessary to dissolve or create entities to fairly divide businesses at divorce. Our clients may also need help protecting their business interests as part of their divorce settlement.

Estate Planners

You will need to re-evaluate your estate plan if you are going through a divorce. The family law attorneys at Johnson Attorneys Group recognize that your existing estate plan will be impacted by this major life transition. It’s advisable that an interim estate plan is prepared and a post-divorce estate plan is put together. We often work with estate planners to achieve the best results.

Complex Financial Experts

Some couples may need expertise that goes beyond the basics of family law. We serve the diverse and affluent Los Angeles County and Orange County communities where many of our clients have issues relating to real estate, privately-held businesses, venture capital, private equity, hedge funds, startups, and other unique and complex issues. In the venture capital world, we know there are unique issues that relate to fund formation, vesting management fees and carried interests and how to allocate these interests between spouses. Whether you are the owner or investor in any kind of business entity, or their spouse, we are uniquely qualified to handle either side of your case.
