Jennifer Hughes
Partner, Family Law
Jenni's practice centers on the financial dimensions of family law: property division, asset valuation, and long-term financial planning for couples and families. Engaged couples with shared assets, family wealth, or complex financial situations will find in Jenni an attorney who takes the time to understand the full picture before putting anything on paper.
Emily Schmale
Partner, Family Law
Emily's background in both family law and business litigation gives her a distinctive lens: she understands how agreements are negotiated, and how they perform under pressure. For couples who want a prenuptial agreement built to hold up, that combination of drafting experience and courtroom perspective is a meaningful advantage.
Leslie Henderzahs
Partner, Family Law
Leslie focuses on high-value and business-connected family law matters, including prenuptial planning for couples where one or both partners own a business, farm, or significant personal assets. She works closely with clients to make sure those assets are clearly defined and thoughtfully protected from the start.
