Bruce R. Fink, BS, JD (Honors) UCLA Undergraduate, Pepperdine Law Certified Family Law Specialist Certified Bankruptcy Specialist

Protection. It should be one of your key concerns when you're getting a divorce. Whatever the final outcome, you'll want assurances that your children and finances will remain secure afterward. Bruce R. Fink, BS, JD, a Certified Family Law Specialist and Certified Bankruptcy Specialist who has practiced throughout Southern California since 1971, can guide you safely through this difficult time of your life.

"I want all my clients to make educated, informed decisions about their legal choices," says Fink, who excels in matters of custody and visitation as well as property division. With a primary focus in Orange and Los Angeles Counties, he always strives "to accomplish the client's desires with minimal expense and emotional drain."

Expertise in custody and money matters

Fink's firm has extensive experience in divorces involving children, and he has successfully dealt with many cases invoking interstate and federal child-custody law. He is also highly skilled in the economic side of divorce. "I have an extremely good grasp of real property and business transactions," he explains, "which is important to self-employed clients. I understand what they're talking about."

As a specialist in bankruptcy, he is an ideal choice for clients with a great deal of debt. "Often, people need to rid themselves of debt when they're getting a divorce," he says. "I've had many cases in which there's a foreclosure pending and the client has to file a Chapter 13 to stop it." This is one way he protects clients' important assets.

Committed to professional growth

Fink is committed to keeping his skills current and his knowledge sharp. "Family and bankruptcy law require ongoing education," he says. "I keep up to date in new case law." He accomplishes this through hours of continuing education every year. "Law is my passion. There are so many new advances in technology and legal services that it will always keep my interest."

He is a pioneer in collaborative family law, a progressive method of dispute resolution that "provides great savings, because the parties agree to cooperate." Should a regular divorce case fail to settle, however, "I'm a very experienced trial attorney. A court battle should be the last resort, but I'm prepared to do it if necessary."

A solid, honest relationship with clients

Fink encourages open communication with his clients. "I encourage them to ask questions," he says. "This builds a solid foundation of trust. My clients trust me with their lives and money, so I'm committed to taking the time to explain the legal process." For him honesty is also essential to a successful attorney-client relationship. "I tell clients how things are. I don't make unrealistic promises." He also expects clients to be straightforward and provide all the information required.

His advice is to avoid unnecessary disputes. Instead of riling the other side up, you can be cooperative, even when you don't agree in fact. You save expenses by not getting embroiled in needless fights. He suggests that before you file for divorce, be sure it is what you want.

Protecting families and children when marriages break up

Fink gets high job satisfaction when clients say thank you. "It's not just about winning the case it's about having the clients feel they've benefitted," says Fink.

You, too, can benefit from his services.
