Congratulations to Bree Wilkes on graduating from the University of Connecticut School of Law!

Bree's journey with Schoonmaker George began back in 2014, her sophomore year of high school, and she has been part of our family nearly every summer since. Watching her grow from a high school student into the talented attorney she is becoming has been an absolute privilege.

Bree is graduating with the honor of receiving The Honorable Herbert Barall Family Law Award, a recognition reserved for one student who has excelled academically in family law AND demonstrated a commitment to serving others through work addressing domestic violence, the impact of divorce on families and children, and access to justice.

We are beyond proud to welcome Bree, who will be starting with us in September as a first-year Associate!

We love seeing our attorneys make an impact both inside and outside the office.
Congratulations to Natassia M. Fodor, President of the Greenwich Bar Association, and Jake DelGreco, Secretary of the Association, on a successful Law Day celebration.

Their commitment to the legal community, professional leadership, and continued dedication to our clients is something we’re incredibly proud of. Giving back while staying at the top of your game is no small feat, and they do both exceptionally well.

When assets span jurisdictions, divorce becomes an
international law problem.

Multiple countries.
Different legal systems.
Conflicting rules around property, custody, and enforcement.

In these matters, strategy begins well before a filing and requires
a global perspective, not just local experience.

“I can confidently say that I would hire Aidan 100 times over. While many people expect an aggressive and confrontational attorney, Aidan demonstrates that she doesn’t need to resort to pitbull tactics. She handles everything within the boundaries of the law, leaving you in good hands. She walks a fine line between assertiveness and professionalism, never crossing the line. And she holds her clients to the same standard. Aidan takes control of everything that can be controlled, providing a sense of safety and security. She is meticulous, organized, and there were no surprises. In addition to her competence, she is also incredibly sympathetic, and I always felt safe and supported." - Former Client

We're celebrating our 30th anniversary!

Since opening our doors in Greenwich, Connecticut, our firm has grown from a vision shared by Samuel V. Schoonmaker, III, and Cynthia Coulter George into a team of dedicated attorneys and professionals committed to guiding clients through some of life’s most complex moments.

Over the past three decades, we’ve celebrated many milestones together, welcoming new attorneys, expanding our team, opening new offices, and continuing to deepen our expertise in family law. Through it all, one thing has remained constant: our commitment to thoughtful advocacy, integrity, and client-centered service.

We are incredibly proud of the people who have shaped this firm and grateful to the clients and community who have trusted us along the way.

Here’s to 30 years and to what’s ahead.

Net worth is rarely the most valuable asset in a divorce.
- Children
- Reputation
- Privacy
- Control
- Predictability

For high-net-worth families, the true stakes are often invisible on a balance sheet.
The focus is not only the outcome, but how it is achieved and what endures afterward.

Sophisticated representation protects what cannot be replaced.

“It wasn’t just Peter’s legal expertise that made a difference. He served as both a guide and ‘counsel,’ constantly reminding me that he had ‘been here before’ and that things were going to work out if we stayed focused and stuck to the plan.

One time, I emailed him after a significant situation surprised me on a Friday night, right before a holiday weekend. Despite the time and circumstances, Peter got back to me immediately and helped me take a deep breath, assuring me that we would regroup in a few days with a plan — and indeed, he always had a plan and contingencies.” — Former Client
