There are many factors in reaching a business valuation in divorce proceedings. Evaluating a professional practice or a career is a subtle task. Attorney Karen S. Brown utilizes the services of professionals who specialize in these matters so she can defeat competing claims from the other spouse and their experts.
If it is necessary to go to court to determine the value, attorney Karen S. Brown will make sure that she is well prepared and can rebut the claims of the other spouse’s expert. The issues can involve the fixed assets, the value of the client base, and the goodwill that is based on the ephemeral concept of the stature of the business and its standing in the community. She strives to explain this issue to you and get you your value based on the most realistic commercial value that can be assigned depending on whether the business could be sold in the open market.
These are some of the critical issues for which you will receive advice in addition to an evaluation of community contributions to any family businesses that contribute to an equitable division. You will require experienced counsel to guide you through these issues, and attorney Karen S. Brown can provide that advice. She will enable you to grasp what is the appreciation of the business over time and its fair market value, commingled issues between separate and community interests, tax and debt issues, real estate appraisals and the value of personal property.
