Property Division Lawyer

Your Fair Share Of The Marital Estate

Asset division is not simply a math problem or business decision. It can be complex and personal, with dozens of tough decisions. The outcome of property division proceedings will affect your lifestyle and your financial future.

For these reasons, the guidance and representation of an experienced attorney is crucial. I am James E. Smith II, a lawyer and CPA in Keyser, West Virginia. I will zealously fight for your fair share, whether through courtroom litigation or settlement negotiations.

Legal Experience And Financial Savvy

I have practiced divorce and family law for 33 years, serving Mineral, Hampshire, Hardy, and Grant County, West Virginia as well as Allegany County and Garrett County, Maryland.

Beyond the nuts and bolts of dividing your marital assets, my credentials as a Certified Public Accountant enable me to address the financial and tax implications.

I have wide experience with property division and divorce settlements, from working-class clients to high net worth couples:

  • Possession of the marital residence
  • Division of retirement assets
  • Valuation of a business or professional practice
  • Cars, jewelry, guns and valuables
  • Loans and debts
  • Child support and alimony
  • Hidden assets and undisclosed income
  • Prenuptial agreements and separate property
  • Continuation of health insurance for a spouse

My goal is to divide the assets as efficiently as possible with the minimum stress and expense for my clients. I have many tools in the toolbox for crafting a fair, practical and creative out-of-court settlement. I have also gone to court when necessary to hold the other part accountable or to get a ruling that moves the process forward.
