High-Net-Worth Divorce Financial Strategy for Physicians and Business Owners

Divorce is a high-stakes financial restructuring disguised as "just" a legal event, constantly hijacked by emotion. I bring structure and strategic clarity to the decisions that will shape your financial life long after the legal process ends.

Strategy-only.
No product sales. No asset management.  No conflicts of interest.

Gabriella Martinelli
WHY WORK WITH US

Divorce Financial Strategy Requires Its Own Discipline

Your attorney guides the legal strategy. My role is to ensure you understand the financial implications of the decisions being made — so you are not agreeing to outcomes you do not fully grasp.

In complex marital estates — medical or dental practices, privately held businesses, executive compensation, significant real estate holdings — the issue is rarely a lack of data. The issue is clarity.

I serve as the financial interpreter, translating complex financial information into clear, real-world understanding, so you can participate in your case with confidence rather than confusion.

When financial decisions are made under emotional pressure without full understanding, the consequences are rarely immediate — but they are often permanent.

THE METHODOLOGY

The E.A.W. Divorce Strategy Framework™

After more than twenty-two years specializing in divorce financial strategy — including fifteen years inside the legal world of divorce — I developed a proven methodology that adapts to each client's unique situation.

Understanding What the Numbers Cannot Tell Me

Before I open a single spreadsheet, I need to understand what is driving your decisions — and what might be distorting them. Your emotional reality shapes your financial strategy.

ANALYZE

Deep Financial Discovery

I know how businesses are valued in divorce court, what judges focus on, and what is coming next in your case before you do. I uncover what cookie-cutter processes miss.

Where Financial Reality Meets Your Life

IN THE MEDIA

Featuring Gabriella

Gabriella has been featured discussing divorce financial strategy for physicians and business owners, the hidden costs of litigation, and how financial clarity transforms outcomes.

What Our Clients Say

"I had been so caught up in the emotion of everything that it took a lot of thought and work to clearly define my priorities. Gabriella helped me focus on what I really wanted from a financial and asset perspective. I opted to have her present on the day of mediation, which paid off literally and figuratively. I got every. single. thing. that I wanted. Divorce is not a happy circumstance, but working with Gabriella helped me feel empowered and ready." — R.T., Business Owner

I don't think I would have made it to the other side without Gabriella. The moment you meet her, the compassion and empathy that surrounds her is undeniable. She cares about her clients, and it shows."
