Thomas A Greenwald- Goranson Bain- Family Law Attorney- 480 x 380

A Smarter, Financially Responsible Divorce

I represent successful professionals, executives, business owners, and their spouses who seek financially responsible divorce solutions. Many of my clients are involved in high-net-worth divorces and have made wise financial decisions in other aspects of their lives, aiming to do the same during their divorce. In addition to my experience in high-net-worth cases, I also specialize in Christian Divorce, helping clients navigate their divorce process in alignment with their faith. My goal is to assist clients in finding efficient and constructive solutions that save money and maintain good working relationships for the future.

Here’s how:

  • Validate client feelings and help them to understand the logic of their decisions and where emotions can cloud good judgment
  • Listen actively to deeply understand each client’s unique situation, goals, and challenges
  • Skillfully negotiate with opposing counsel to resolve cases with a reputation for honesty and integrity
  • Avoid unnecessary expenses that do not bring value through a planned approach to efficiently reach a resolution that preserves the client’s assets
  • Advocate for the client’s best interest, constructive resolution, and always doing what is right

Client Reviews

Words can’t adequately express my gratitude to Tom Greenwald and the team at Goranson Bain. Each and every detail of my divorce was handled with sensitivity, care and professionalism. – J.F.
Thank you for your incredible help throughout my divorce. I especially appreciate your sensitivity at a time when I was very emotional. There were so many issues in this case and you were wonderful through it all. Thank you, thank you. – M.M.
The poise and non-emotional approach of Tom and his staff to all of the tactics thrown at us from the other side was just incredible. I consider myself about as cool, calm, and collected as they come; but I had my buttons pushed and I was ready to over-react. When an attorney who stands to gain financially from an approach you are suggesting tells you to chill and sit tight…well that’s the guy you want in your corner. Plain and simple. – Randy
From the outset, Tom’s attention to detail, knowledge of the applicable law regarding the assets involved, and his ability to take control of the legal proceedings without polarizing the other side was extremely impressive.  Tom’s knowledge and skill resulted in a very favorable and early resolution to my case.  I would recommend Tom to anyone who desires the best result in the shortest time. – B.W.
As a practicing attorney of over 25 years, I know how lawyers operate. Tom Greenwald is a godsend and helped me through a very contentious divorce. Tom is practical, attentive, patient, strategic, measured, efficient, and ethical. If you want an experienced lawyer who looks for solutions and resolution, not big legal fees, then Tom Greenwald is the lawyer to represent you in what will be most certainly one of the most difficult times in your life. – M.T.
I have used Tom as a lawyer in several of my personal matters. He has never given me bad advice. He always puts my needs first even if that means referring me to someone else. He is truly a lawyer that cares about your needs first. Thanks Tom for all of your time and energy you have put in to take care of my needs and my best interest! – Randi
It was my great fortune to select an attorney as dedicated , committed and as professional as Tom Greenwald. Tom provided clear, advantageous counsel and was truly able to assess potential negative and positive ramifications resulting from our decision making process. Having Tom in my corner relieved a great part of my concerns. – C.W.
I contacted Mr. Greenwald, and he responded immediately.  He patiently and compassionately answered all of my questions and explained the legal language in terms which I could understand.  Mr. Greenwald’s expert explanations comforted my anxiety and made me feel much better about what to expect. While I do not wish for any married couples to experience a divorce, I highly recommend Mr. Greenwald to anyone who needs a great family lawyer. – A.K.

Interests

Outside of work, Tom has a passion for triathlons and Ironman competitions. There are many parallels between divorce and competitive triathlons, including discipline, goal setting, mental toughness, follow-through, and the need to control emotions. “In every race, just as in life, something will go wrong or happen unexpectedly; being able to recognize it as an opportunity to overcome and still achieve is the key.”
