Elected and Appointed
Partner Robert J. Salzer of Williams Family Law was appointed a fellow of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers.
With his selection, Salzer joins firm founder and managing partner Jeffrey M. Williams in holding the designation.
Williams Family Law is now the only law firm in Bucks County with two AAML fellows. Membership in AAML is a process with just about 1,600 fellows nationwide.
Attorneys must be admitted to the bar for at least 10 years and practice almost exclusively in matrimonial law.
They also must complete a specified amount of continuing legal education credits in each of the previous five years and pass an exam on matrimonial and family law.
The process includes an interview by a state board of examiners or matrimonial law practitioners.
Finally, they must be known for having a commitment to ethical standards and demonstrate thought leadership in matrimonial law, such as in publishing articles or teaching at CLE events.
A trial attorney, Salzer focuses his practice on financially complex, high-net-worth family law matters including alimony/spousal support, divorce, equitable distribution, marital agreements, child support, child custody and prenuptial and postnuptial agreements.
He is a co-author of "Stress-Free Divorce," a book designed to help anyone considering or in the midst of a divorce identify and overcome common obstacles to as smooth a resolution as possible.
He is a frequent presenter on issues involved in family law.
The Pennsylvania chapter of the AAML, AAML-PA, collaborates with lawyers, legislators, judges, agencies and professionals to improve the standards and processes of resolving conflicts involving child support, divorce, custody and juvenile matters. Fellows deal with complex aspects of matrimonial law such as valuation, professional practices, tax consequences, alternative families and interstate and international cases.
