VALERIE I. STEINER, PARTNER: STEINER HOWETH PASQUESI & HATCH

Valerie I. Steiner prioritizes her client’s needs as the most important component of her representation in her divorce and family law practice. During the complexity and confusion that comes with financial and custodial disputes, Steiner helps her clients understand their options and make decisions in line with their priorities. Steiner then executes her client’s goals with unwavering focus using tools, strategies, and skills catered to the client’s unique situation. In her advocacy, Steiner has the unique ability to break down complex financial and child-related issues, developing cogent and persuasive strategies to achieve success on behalf of her clients. Steiner’s background includes litigating complex financial matters involving closely held businesses and executive compensation, and multi-million dollar estates. She is a frequent speaker at family law conferences on business valuation, litigation, and other financial issues that arise in divorce proceedings. In addition to her extensive experience involving finances, Steiner represents parents and children in high-conflict custodial disputes. She is compassionate about the difficult issues her clients face and guides them through the emotionally challenging process with confidence and strength, and she uses her extensive experience to achieve the desired results. “Attorneys are often eager to speak without a clear understanding of the facts or their audience, whether it is the judge or the opposing attorney,” Steiner says. “It is critical to understand the facts surrounding your client’s circumstances and know the proclivities of your audience in order to develop an effective strategy and advocate.” Steiner Howeth Pasquesi & Hatch, Ltd., succeeds a prior firm co-founded by Steiner in 2012 and was re-introduced in June of this year. “We have developed a unique brand of fierce, collaborative, intelligent, and compassionate advocacy,” Steiner says. “It’s easy for anyone to call themselves unique, but I know we are, and I am extremely proud of the stellar work we do on behalf of our clients whom we genuinely care about.”
