Providing Family Law Representation and Mediation Services to Clients Across Los Angeles For Over Three Decades
With over 30 years of experience, the Law Offices of Linda Cukier represents clients across Los Angeles in all aspects of family law. We specialize in premarital agreements; jurisdictional divorce issues; domestic violence restraining orders; marital property characterization, valuation, and division; child and spousal support; child custody cases; postnuptial, and marital settlement agreements.
I bring a personal and “hands-on” approach to assist my clients in reaching favorable outcomes, by focusing on problem solving, facilitating resolution and lessening the trauma of separation or divorce. Depending on the particular case and my client’s specific needs, my services include litigation, mediation, and serving as a consulting attorney.
Throughout my practice, I remain constantly committed to achieving results that avoid unnecessary emotional turmoil and financial outlays whenever possible. As a litigator, I provide a personalized and strategic approach to each case to represent my clients in reaching their goals and transitioning to the next chapter of their lives. As a mediator, I work with both parties in a family law dispute, assisting them in reaching a legally enforceable agreement without ever seeing the inside of a courtroom. When necessary to the mediation process, I employ outside professionals in the areas of mental health, custody, business valuation, real estate appraisals, tracing, and financial planning.
“How does one resolve what could be a brutal, never ending, and expensive divorce involving real child custody, support and asset division issues in the millions? Hire Linda Cukier. As a mediator, she had the knowledge and earned the trust to guide both sides to an mutually acceptable out of court agreement. She literally saved us well over $1 million in fees and costs and infinitely more in aggravation, allowing both sides to move on with their lives.”
