Our professional team contributes insights and clarity to legal counsel and clients regarding financial issues that may be unclear. She and her staff are talented and experienced in working with attorneys and parties to obtain answers to financial questions in family law matters that are in several different venues:

1. Litigation with both parties represented.

2. Litigation with the goal to mediate with a settlement conference judge prior to trial.

3. Mediation- this can either be with both parties represented or both parties with consulting attorneys.

4. Collaberative Family Law- Ms. Kaseno is a collaboratively trained professional that has worked with parties going through this process to resolve their family law case.

Divorce is difficult and understanding complex financial issues is sometimes hard. That is where Karen Kaseno and her staff excel. The Kaseno CPA Firm, is experienced at analyzing complex financial and accounting issues and delivers results in a clear manner that can be easily understood by the courts, judiciary and the parties.

Our team understands that we must devote our time and energy into all legal aspects of the family law cases we handle. Because of that, we work diligently to have our clients’ legal matters handled in a timely manner. No matter how big or small your case might be, we are committed to remaining responsive the entire way through your case.

Ms. Kaseno and her staff can work with you individually as your forensic expert or can work jointly as a “neutral expert” for both parties. Ms. Kaseno frequently gets appointed by the court as a Special Master or Evidence Code 730 expert that essentially works as a neutral accountant with both sides, to report directly to the court regarding certain financial issues.

Working together and trying to settle or mediate at least some of the financial issues in a divorce is usually a good and efficient path to take. If the parties can cooperate with each other in providing documentation and information and work towards a solution, that is usually the the efficient way to complete a case. We can work with parties that chose to mediate, settle or go through Collaberative Family Law to resolve their case.

Sometimes for a number of different reasons a case will not mediate and settle. Some family law cases are ones that will need to be litigated. Karen Kaseno has litigated over 300 family law cases and has been a Special Master/Evidence Code 730 joint expert on over 200 family law cases. Ms. Kaseno and her staff can take your case all of the way through trial, if that is what is needed.
