High-Asset Divorce and Marital Property Division

High-net-worth divorce proceedings involve unique financial challenges, from closely held business valuations and stock portfolios to intellectual property and executive compensation packages.

Child Custody, Parenting Plans, and Support Advocacy

Preserving parental relationships and shielding children from marital discord are critical objectives during separation. Working as dedicated child custody lawyers, the legal team crafts comprehensive parenting plans, handles complex custody and visitation schedules, and addresses interstate parentage disputes. Alongside custody matters, clients receive representation from skilled child support lawyers who calculate statutory obligations and determine fair spousal support awards that reflect the marital standard of living.

Restraining Orders, Marital Agreements, and Mediation

In addition to traditional dissolution proceedings, the firm assists individuals facing urgent domestic crises. When safety is compromised, their domestic violence lawyers take swift action to secure emergency protective orders and defend client rights in restraining order hearings. For couples planning for marriage or domestic partnerships, seasoned prenuptial agreement lawyers prepare and review premarital, postnuptial, and cohabitation agreements. The firm also offers formal mediation and alternative dispute resolution services, helping couples resolve complex matters outside the public court system.

Decades of Distinguished Leadership and Proven Experience

Founded by Samuel Bransky, who has practiced family law exclusively since 1977, the firm draws upon profound insight into California domestic law. Sam Bransky has served as a Judge Pro Tem for the Los Angeles Superior Court and mediated hundreds of court cases. Principal attorney David Bransky brings over a decade of dedicated practice, having graduated from Southwestern Law School and UC Irvine, with active memberships in the Beverly Hills Bar Association and the Los Angeles Westside Collaborative Divorce Professionals.
