You can see where this is going. There will always be the high-level, contentious divorces between wealthy individuals that will require the expert advice of counsel.

DivorceApps.com is the creation of Dallas family-law attorney Michelle May O’Neil, who founded the company together with business partner Bryan C. Rice, a forensic CPA.
