Description: Our matrimonial group is led by partners Cynthia Rubin and Jack Zulack. Our clients include professionals in the business and entertainment worlds, many of whom have multi-million dollar cases. We never divulge the names of our clients, and we handle their cases with utmost discretion. Our matrimonial practice includes the entire panoply of family law, custodial and financial issues. We represent clients in disputes involving international and interstate custody, paternity issues, spousal and child abuse, and grandparents' and gay parents' rights. We work with experts in appraising marital assets, including the valuation of businesses, professional practices and licenses. We believe that it is preferable to resolve matrimonial disputes through the process of negotiation rather than litigation because, in our view, negotiation rather than litigation maximizes the well-being of both parents and children. We try to settle our cases using outside consultants such as accountants, financial planners and child psychologists, where appropriate. We also can and do aggressively litigate and try cases when they cannot be settled. While we prefer to be peacemakers, we believe that we are unsurpassed as litigators and trial lawyers, and we use our litigation and trial skills when required. We believe in a team approach to resolving matrimonial cases. While one partner usually will take the lead, our other attorneys are always available for consultation and assistance. We have found it invaluable to have a team of knowledgeable lawyers available to help make difficult decisions or to step into a case, when necessary, to provide new insight or a new personality mix. We view the client as the most important member of our matrimonial team and keep each client fully informed of all developments, enabling him or her to take an active decision-making role. Our goal in representing our matrimonial clients is to produce the best possible result for our clients consistent with the continued well-being of their spouses and children. We understand in handling matrimonial matters that our clients are going through an extremely difficult transition. We try to make that transition as painless as possible and help our clients emerge with their own and their children's economic and emotional lives intact.
