ABOUT MARCY KOTT

People need an attorney who solves problems, not one who creates them.They need someone who, above all, sees the person behind the problem and who cuts through any extraneous noise to get the best result. They need someone who is compassionate, caring and helpful—and who stays calm in stressful situations.As Principal Attorney at Berger Schatz, I am that person. Specializing in matrimonial law, I provide smart and concise advice to my clients. I represent clients in a variety of marital dissolution cases involving complex financial issues, corporate valuations, non-marital asset protection, spousal support issues, child custody and child support disputes, visitation, relocation, international child abduction matters involving the Hague Convention and visitation. In addition to divorce cases, I have broad experience representing clients in matters involving premarital and postmarital agreements, same-sex marriages and complex parentage and assisted reproduction agreements.Clients come to me because they know I will bring a unique and, ultimately, effective blend of fair-minded pragmatism, deep empathy and commitment to excellence to their case, actively listening to and fully understanding their situation to provide clear direction and execution to fulfill their goals.Balancing efficiency and affability, I am adept in both alternative dispute resolution and litigation, striving to settle outside the courtroom and excelling at litigation when it is necessary. I make it my mission to understand my clients’ priorities from the first meeting so that they feel empowered to exercise control of their lives during a time when it can feel like there isn’t any.When working with a divorce attorney, there has to be a clear understanding of the desired outcome, as well as an assurance that the attorney you’re working with can help you get there.With utmost integrity and a streamlined approach to strategy, I can promise you that I am that attorney.
