Marc Garelick, is a Partner with Meyer, Olson, Lowy & Meyers, LLP, and has specialized in family litigation since day one. After years of experience working high asset cases in Los Angeles, he formed his own firm 6 years ago where they exclusively deal with family cases that require courtroom litigation. Located in Orange County, this is the largest family law firm in California. He works with clients goals in mind, and no two clients have the same needs. Every relationship is unique, and Marc stresses the importance of communication not just within your family unit, but with your attorney as well.
Marc has taken the time to shed some light on how people dealing with domestic issues may go about navigating post-pandemic courtroom proceedings. The close quarters we’re all subject to now only escalates the likelihood of domestic issues arising. Domestic violence issues may still be heard, however child support cases will likely fall through the cracks until courts reopen and catch up. Currently there are over 1700 motions just waiting to be filed, and that number is growing as the shutdown continues. The backlog of cases is likely to cause long-term problems, but Marc offers some advice on how to settle in a Post-Covid 19 world.

Listen to this Master Certified Executive Coach as she explains how the questions make all the difference.
Transcript:
Bill: An effective coach can change your game and can change your life. Here's expert Moty Koppes.
Moty: People, when they come to coaching, they have already thought about what they want or what they have been dealing with. But, what is happening, where coaching is different from any other profession, is not just asking a question and really wanting to have an answer, it's asking such a powerful question that it's going to shift the frame of reference about who they are, their belief system, their knowledge of themselves, and how they perceive themselves. So by shifting their frame of reference, then they have what it takes, and all they have to do is apply that in order to get to where they want to be.

Transcript:
Bill: When it comes to intellectual property issues, there's always a lot to think about, and one of the best minds in the country is Marc Hankin.
Marc: A little bit of planning will really prevent a big problem down the road, and intellectual property protection is somewhat confusing, you really should talk to someone who's a specialist at doing this, but not doing that costs so much more down the road because you haven't protected your most important asset which is your technology. You have to, first of all, protect your technology, protect your inventions, your innovation. Number two is worry about, when you're buying a product from someone else, whether you're a value edit reseller or distributor, if you're getting products manufactured for less money, for example, in China or somewhere else, when you sell those products here in the United States, you have to worry about whether someone has rights that can block you, and perhaps come after you and sue you successfully for infringing their rights.

In this 1 minute highlight, Tim Voorhees, Managing Partner - MatsenVoorhees Law discusses an overview of a tax reduction technique called "Capital Gains Split Dollar".
Transcript:
Tim: We started with charitable remainder trust back in the 1980s, but the industry and the tax code have both evolved to the point where there are now much more sophisticated vehicles. One of the clever techniques we've developed over the last couple years is a solution referred to as, Capital Gains, Split Dollar. We simply have a client with an appreciated business have the buyer put the money in a trust for the benefit of our seller, our client, and when the buyer puts the money in the trust they receive a Split Dollar Agreement, so there's no current tax on the transaction. Moreover, if the client invests the money in the trust tax efficiently, there's only a very small tax, and the wealth grows tax efficiently, so the client can then borrow it out with tax-free loans throughout his or her lifetime, and know that the balance will pass tax-free to the children. And, when you look at the benefits of that type of Capital Gains, Split Dollar solution, you see that the client literally can have two, three, four times more wealth as opposed to just selling a business in a taxable transaction.
