"Provides Me With A Unique Ability...

Joining AACFL has brought me clients who have more complex financial issues. As I am already an experienced attorney and represent many individuals with complex financial issues, I wanted to enhance my knowledge base so I could best serve my clients. Knowledge is power, and I believe having the CFL credential provides me with a unique ability to expertly and efficiently handle sophisticated financial issues that arise in divorce."

"No Other Training Like This

I am not aware of any other training like this. This was very specifically directed at divorce litigation, with a variety of professional experts teaching from their industry’s perspective. For example, we trained with CPAs, financial planners, attorneys, and bankers. I have attended several joint conferences…and never received this type of hands-on, practical training.

"Has Enabled My Firm To Better Represent Our Clients...

It has enabled my firm (18 attorneys) and me to better represent our clients as we have the education and knowledge to negotiate and litigate a case, including the ability to spot tax issues, digest and dissect the information presented in tax returns and financial documents, understand business valuations and use this information at the negotiation table and the courtroom.
