Contra Costa County Mediation Attorney

Warren Major LLP — Strategic Mediation for Family Law Disputes

Divorce in San Francisco is rarely simple.

Between tech equity, real estate holdings, complex compensation structures, and emotionally charged custody disputes, the stakes are high — financially and personally.

You don’t need a volume-based law firm.
You need a San Francisco Divorce Attorney who brings strategy, discretion, and courtroom strength — and who chooses their cases carefully.

Warren Major LLP is a boutique San Francisco Family Law firm.
We intentionally limit the cases we accept so that every client receives focused, senior-level advocacy from start to finish.

This is not assembly-line divorce representation.
This is strategic positioning for your next chapter.

Divorce in San Francisco Requires Sophisticated Counsel

California is a community property state, meaning most assets and debts acquired during marriage are divided equally unless proven otherwise under California law (Judicial Branch of California – Self-Help Courts).

But in San Francisco, equal on paper does not mean simple in practice.

Divorces here often involve:

RSUs, stock options, and deferred compensation
Startup equity and liquidity events
Business ownership interests
High-income spousal support exposure
Complex custody disputes
International assets
Executive compensation structures

Strategic asset classification, valuation, and negotiation are critical. The financial consequences of poor positioning can last decades.

Experienced in High-Conflict & Narcissistic Divorce Cases

Not all divorces are cooperative.

Some involve spouses who engage in:

Manipulation or gaslighting
Coercive control
Financial concealment
Strategic delay tactics
False narratives in custody disputes
Emotional escalation to gain leverage

We have extensive experience representing clients divorcing spouses with narcissistic personality traits and high-conflict personalities.

Divorcing a narcissist requires a different strategy.

It requires:

✔ Meticulous Documentation

Every communication, financial disclosure, and parenting interaction must be structured and preserved.

✔ Firm Boundary Enforcement

High-conflict personalities often test limits. We establish and enforce clear legal boundaries.

✔ Courtroom Credibility

Judges respond to facts, not emotional narratives. We present organized, evidence-based arguments that withstand scrutiny.

✔ Psychological Awareness Without Escalation

We understand common behavioral patterns associated with narcissistic personality traits and adjust legal strategy accordingly — without inflaming the case unnecessarily.

If you are searching for:

You need more than general family law representation.
You need strategic containment and controlled execution.
We provide it.
