Gary L. Borger, Esq. - Biography
Areas of Practice:
Since entering the private practice of law in 1977, Mr. Borger has concentrated in family law, gaining substantial experience in handling complex divorces involving alimony claims, child custody and parenting issues, child support, relocation applications to the court for a parent to move out of state with children, property and debt distribution, and applications to the court for protection from domestic violence and abuse. Mr. Borger also has substantial experience in preparing and negotiating pre-marital and cohabitation agreements. In addition, having been trained in collaborative divorce, Mr. Borger can offer yet another option to traditional divorce litigation for those clients who recognize the value of being settlement-oriented from the outset.
Having been trained at the Harvard Law School, Mr. Borger offers the client the option of mediating rather than litigating family law disputes between spouses, domestic partners or significant others. Mr. Borger has also been trained as a collaborative divorce lawyer, yet another alternative to costly, acrimonious divorce litigation.
