Silicon Valley's Premier Family Law Firm
Strong. Smart. Strategic.
Providing family law litigation, consulting, and mediation services throughout Silicon Valley and the greater San Francisco Bay Area.
Serving the San Francisco Bay Area, primarily Santa Clara County, San Mateo County and San Francisco County.
Counsel for the most consequential family matters.
Our firm's practice encompasses all aspects of marital dissolution, parentage, and other domestic relations actions. Although we handle simple family law matters, we specialize in high-asset, high-conflict cases. We litigate complicated custody battles and cases involving complex support, financial, and property issues. We are also experienced in navigating interjurisdictional and international disputes, including Hague Convention issues.
Our experience trying high-conflict, high-stakes cases, however, has not blinded us to the financial and other costs of scorched-earth tactics employed by others. We strive to attain the most efficient and effective way to resolve cases. But if settlement is not possible, we prepare each case intelligently and diligently to ensure the best result for our Clients.
BZB recognizes that each case is different, that each Client has unique needs. We listen to our Clients to understand and gain insight into the challenges they face during some of the most trying periods of their and their families' lives. This enables us to provide Clients with honest and effective counsel and devise creative and individualized solutions.
