What Makes Us Different
Mark Schondorf has a degree in law and finance. As part of a small percentage of family lawyers that also have a degree in finance means if you’re a business owner going through a divorce, Mark can protect you better than your average divorce lawyer. Most divorce attorneys find business valuations, close corporations, unique investment structures, and retirement assets a challenging prospect.
Mark has a keen understanding of the previously mentioned as well as tax returns, income statements, balance sheets, and business appraisals that have most family lawyers confused. Most people can’t afford a confused attorney, literally.
