In addition to providing representation in the litigation forum, Ms. De Shong provides practical guidance and support for clients who may not be certain that a divorce is appropriate for them, but wish to be fully informed of their legal rights and options. Ms. De Shong helps clients negotiate cohabitation, partnership and prenuptial agreements. While Ms. De Shong provides strong advocacy to her clients, she recognizes that the negotiation of a successful outcome is more often in her clients' emotional and financial best interests than costly litigation.
