Salmeh K. Fodor
About
Ms. Salmeh Fodor, Esq. is a founding member of KF Law, LLC. She is an experienced divorce attorney who has been practicing law since 1998. She provides compassionate, yet aggressive representation for clients facing divorce, as well as custody and child support disputes.
One size does not fit all in divorce, custody and child support situations. Ms. Fodor takes the time necessary to understand fully the circumstances that surround her clients. In some situations, an amicable settlement is the best way to meet her clients’ needs. In other situations, aggressive and efficient litigation is the best way to help her clients.
One aspect that sets Ms. Fodor apart from other divorce lawyers is her extensive experience and background in finance. Understanding financial transactions is essential when determining the true net worth of an individual. The other party may pretend that assets are not as valuable as they are, or otherwise appear to have very little net worth. Ms. Fodor can sift through the smoke and mirrors to determine what assets are really at stake.
Prior to becoming an attorney, Ms. Fodor was a stockbroker/financial advisor for Prudential Securities, Inc. and then Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. Her experience has helped her understand the complexities of finance and securities.
