Successfully mediating business interests in divorce or domestic partner dissolution relating to small and large professional practices, or familly businesses, requires the use of a neutral accounting expert. Terry M. Hargrave is a LAFMS co-mediator with a national reputation in forensic accounting. In contentious family breakups, both parties often spend tens of thousands of dollars using expert forensic accountants. We think there is a better and much more efficient and cost-effective way to understand financial transactions and income streams and expenses. LAFMS is a full-service mediation team and our mediations are designed to use expert mediator resources in a sparing way, on an as-needed basis.
