Family law attorneys Melissa Benson and Elizabeth Nañez recently achieved a favorable settlement in a high-value community property case following a contentious divorce proceeding. The firm represented a husband seeking to preserve significant marital assets after multiple prior attorneys had been unable to bring the matter to resolution.
Mediation was held in January 2025, and through strategic preparation and skillful negotiation, Benson and Nañez were able to reach a settlement that protected the client’s financial interests. The order for divorce was subsequently filed in April 2025, formally concluding the matter.
The case presented numerous challenges, including complex asset division and entrenched opposition, but Benson and Nañez’s tenacious advocacy helped pave the way for a successful outcome. Their diligent work and client-focused approach brought long-awaited closure to a difficult chapter.
This result reflects the firm's depth of experience in high-stakes family law matters and its commitment to delivering results through skilled mediation and strategic legal counsel.
Great work, Melissa and Liz!
