Faith D Dornbrand, AAML
(Lawyer)
Divorce with dignity. Divorce resulting in economic stability for both spouses. Divorce that leaves children emotionally secure and able to prosper. These are the goals of many separating spouses and domestic partners.
Having practiced family law for more than 25 years, Ms. Dornbrand believes litigation is not a predictable process for achieving these goals. As a trained collaborative law professional, mediator, and certified arbitrator, she strives to help individuals resolve family law disputes in the most non-conflictual process suitable. Ms. Dornbrand's clients are primarily attorneys, other professionals, high-net worth individuals with complicated financial assets (including closely held businesses, deferred compensation benefits and trust interests) and domestic and international civil servants. She has extensive experience with U.S. and international custody and relocation cases.
