Marital Dissolution, Business Dispute or Economic Damages? Our CPAs can help
No happy bride or groom anticipates that they will one day experience the dissolution of their marriage. Likewise no optimistic new business owner expects that he or she may eventually face a legal battle with a disgruntled employee or unhappy firm, or will need to initiate legal proceedings. But events arise, and circumstances change. Despite the best of intentions, you may find yourself in a situation in which you need expert financial help.
A contentious divorce or drawn-out business dispute can do more than wear on your emotional well-being. It can cause considerable and measurable damage to your financial health as well. For this reason, it is crucial that you protect your assets by employing a skilled and objective third party to conduct a full valuation of your business or professional practice. At Zivetz, Schwartz & Saltsman, we specialize in doing just that.
