Financial Expert Guide for Family Law Judges and Attorneys

THE FINANCIAL EXPERT GUIDE SHOULD BE IN EVERY LEGAL AND VALUATION LIBRARYFinancial issues are often the centerpiece in marital dissolution cases. Too often disagreements over the division of marital assets and property valuation result in protracted litigation. Add a closely-held business or professional practice to the mix, and a dissolution becomes even more combustible. The Financial Expert Guide for Family Law Judges and Attorneys provides must-have guidance for every legal professional hoping to effectively understand fundamental financial principles, work collaboratively with financial experts, and provide the best legal advice possible. I believe the Financial Expert Guide gives great direction to the audience for which it is intended. It gives the attorneys the direction to properly analyze the strengths and weaknesses of the expert reports in clear and understandable language. Great addition to an attorney s arsenal of information. Gary L. Polidori, Esq This book is exceptional.
