Dina is an accomplished matrimonial attorney who has dedicated her legal career exclusively to the complexities of divorce and family law. She is a versatile advocate for her clients, who include high-net-worth individuals. She is a tenacious litigator who is also a highly trained family collaborative lawyer and mediator.

Dina’s practice encompasses the full spectrum of family law, with a focus on helping clients navigate the life-changing transitions of divorce. She provides incisive counsel on alimony and child support, custody and parenting time, and the strategic and equitable distribution of marital assets and liabilities. Her expertise also extends to post-judgment matters, ensuring the long-term enforcement and modification of existing court orders.

Recognizing that the best outcome is often one crafted by the parties themselves, Dina is a strong advocate for alternative dispute resolution as an alternative to traditional matrimonial litigation. She has achieved considerable success in obtaining optimal results for many clients by pursuing a "mediation-first" philosophy, utilizing her collaborative training to secure favorable settlements that avoid the cost and conflict of a trial. However, when litigation is unavoidable, she draws on her deep courtroom experience to protect her clients' rights and financial futures.
