Expert Divorce and Family Law Representation

Lake Harriet Law Office, LLC, located in the historic Linden Hills neighborhood of Minneapolis, is a premier boutique law firm dedicated exclusively to Family Law and Divorce. Founded by Managing Attorney Randall A. Smith, the firm is distinguished by its deep expertise in the financial complexities of divorce. Attorney Smith holds both a Juris Doctor and a Master of Business Administration (M.B.A.), providing him with a unique ability to analyze complex financial data, business valuations, and asset division strategies that other attorneys might miss. This financial acumen is critical for high-net-worth clients or those with complicated estates involving businesses, real estate portfolios, and significant retirement assets.

Financial Expertise in Divorce

The firm’s practice is built around the understanding that divorce is as much a financial transaction as it is a legal one. Their specialized services include:

• High Asset Divorce: Expert handling of cases involving the division of substantial wealth, executive compensation packages, and stock options.
• Business Valuation: Working with financial neutrals to accurately determine the value of closely-held businesses and partnerships.
• Spousal Maintenance: utilizing advanced cash flow analysis and regression models to advocate for fair alimony awards, whether temporary or permanent.
• Complex Property Division: Tracing non-marital assets and ensuring equitable distribution of commingled funds and property.
• Estate Planning: assisting clients in updating wills and trusts post-divorce to reflect their new life circumstances.

A Personalized and Strategic Approach

Lake Harriet Law Office prides itself on offering a personalized client experience that is often lost in larger firms. Randall A. Smith and his team provide a ‘team approach’ to every case, ensuring that clients are supported by a group of professionals who are familiar with every detail of their situation. The firm is also a strong proponent of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR), offering Mediation and Early Neutral Evaluation (ENE) services to help parties reach amicable settlements outside of the courtroom. However, when litigation is necessary, they are prepared to aggressively defend their clients’ interests. Situated near the beautiful Lake Harriet, the office offers a discreet and comfortable environment for discussing sensitive family matters.
