Cosmo Okerlund
Founding partner
Divorce, property and mediation.
Cosmo founded the firm after more than thirty years of divorce work, most of it in Orange County courtrooms. He now takes the divorces that turn on property or a family business, and sits in on the mediation sessions that settle them.
Inside the office he is known for one habit: he reads every financial disclosure twice, once for what it says and once for what it leaves out.

Read twice
A complete disclosure protects both spouses and ends arguments before they start. Cosmo reads each one for what it lists and for what it leaves out, then sits down with the spouses, or their lawyers, to close the gaps.
When a business or a house is in the middle, he brings in a neutral appraiser rather than let two experts argue in front of a judge.
