Kristy Mara (formerly Kristy Rodd) has been practicing family law for 20 years.  She creates customized solutions for her clients.  Kristy openly communicates with clients throughout the case so the end result is the best possible outcome.

Whether a business-person, a professional or stay-at-home parent, experiencing any legal process in one’s personal life is unnerving.  Kristy gets to know each client as an individual; and tailors the communications and case strategy to meet his or her needs and goals.  Although she is an experienced litigator, she is equally comfortable creating settlement solutions for her clients.  She uses her analytical skills to master the facts and finances for an ideal position for her clients at settlement or trial.

Kristy provides an honest assessment of how the process will work for her clients.  When strategizing with a client, Kristy analyzes and quantifies all aspects of the case balancing the costs and benefits.  She breaks down complex matters into basic collars and cents for her clients and uses her expertise to guide them in their decision on whether to settle or go to trial.

Kristy focuses her practice on complex litigation including:  valuation of closely-held businesses and corporations, allocation of retirement plans and benefits, analysis of executive compensation, personal and corporate taxation issues, property division, maintenance and alimony, and child custody and support.
