New York—August 19, 2021—Krauss Shaknes Tallentire & Messeri LLP founding partners Caroline Krauss and Valentina Shaknes have been selected for inclusion in the 2022 edition of Best Lawyers for Family Law in New York.

Throughout her career, Caroline has been a fierce advocate for individuals in all matrimonial and family law matters, often protecting the interests of clients whose legal issues are complicated by their significant assets and heightened public profiles. She was recently recognized as a top-tier lawyer by Chambers High Net Worth for Family/Matrimonial Law in New York, with one source noting that she “fights like a lion” for her clients. Caroline has also been recognized as a Distinguished Leader by the New York Law Journal and as an Elite Boutique Trailblazer by The National Law Journal. She is a fellow of the American Bar Foundation—an honor reserved for the top 1% of attorneys.

For almost 15 years, Valentina has practiced exclusively in matrimonial and family law, counseling high-net-worth clients on divorces, pre-nuptial agreements, and other family law issues. She is a well-established leader of the matrimonial bar and a “go-to” practitioner in the small community of lawyers with expertise in international child custody matters and Hague cases—a niche specialty. She was also named a Distinguished Leader by the New York Law Journal and an Elite Boutique Trailblazer by The National Law Journal.
