- Develop and execute a strategic plan tailored to your specific circumstances and objectives
- Prepare meticulously for both settlement negotiations and/or courtroom litigation
- Respond to your questions and concerns with care and promptness
Meet Our Board Certified Divorce Attorneys
Every divorce attorney at our firm is, at minimum, Board Certified by the State Bar of Nevada as a divorce law specialist. Jennifer V. Abrams and Vincent Mayo are widely regarded in the local legal community as two of the best divorce attorneys in the Las Vegas metropolitan area.
Jennifer Abrams represents clients facing high-stakes, financially complex divorce matters. Holding an undergraduate degree in Accounting Theory and Practice and having passed the California CPA examination, she possesses a distinct advantage in analyzing business valuations and dissecting complicated financial portfolios. Ms. Abrams is one of only a handful of attorneys in Las Vegas recognized as a Certified Fellow of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers (AAML) and a State Bar of Nevada Board Certified Family Law Specialist.

Yet, alongside this tenacity, former clients consistently praise her steady hand and ability to keep them calm, objective, and focused on long-term goals.
Attorney Ilan Acherman is known for his specialized financial litigation background. His unique role as a faculty member for the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) Expert Witness Program demonstrates his exceptional capabilities in dismantling complicated marital estates, business valuations, and high-net-worth property divisions. Our board certified divorce attorneys are supported by a team of accredited certified paralegals.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I keep my divorce proceedings private and out of the public record in Las Vegas?
Yes, it’s still possible. While more difficult than in the past, your divorce attorney can petition the court to seal your case records. The Clark County family court judge assigned to your case will then rule on whether the motion is granted.
How do I choose the best divorce attorney?
The best divorce attorney for you is the one whose skills and experience are aligned with what you have at stake in your case. The attorney’s retainer policies/billing rate and their communication methods and style are also important.
What does Board Certified mean for Las Vegas divorce attorneys?
Board Certification is a specialized professional designation, not a marketing title. The State Bar of Nevada’s family law specialization requirements are strictly enforced and involve dedicated legal practice and trial experience in divorce and family law.
How are business assets valued and divided in divorce?
Business valuation is complex and typically requires a business valuation expert. The expert will evaluate the company’s assets, liabilities, historical earnings, and future projections. Professional services businesses are more complicated because the analyst must differentiate between enterprise goodwill (the value of the business itself) and personal goodwill (value tied directly to a specific individual’s reputation).
Can a divorce be resolved without a trial?
The majority of divorce matters are resolved through negotiated settlements without a trial. However, every case should be prepared as though it may proceed to trial because this preparation assists in settlement negotiations and the case’s eventual resolution method is unknown.
How do divorce lawyers protect children’s interests in a child custody case?
Experienced child custody attorneys prioritize stability and evidence-based parenting plans. They work with child psychologists, custody evaluators, and parenting coordinators to create plans that support children’s emotional and developmental needs.
