TOP LITIGATORS Founding partners, Neal Hersh and Joe Mannis of Hersh Mannis LLP
“Hersh and Mannis’ boutique Beverly Hills family law practice made a name for itself taking care of extremely confidential personal matters for highprofile clients. Standout recent cases include handling postseparation financial matters for a major international celebrity whose share of assets exceeded $100 million, and a multimilliondollar child support and palimony case for an NBA star. They also won a hotly contested move-away child custody case for a female film and TV star, and helped a client recoup $10 million-plus in post-separation back-end compensation from approximately 58 major motion pictures. “[Divorce] is a very emotional business,” Hersh says. “If someone loses a chandelier in the dining room, that could be more important than getting a million dollars in the bank.”
