Professional Athletes
Lpep offers aggressive and comprehensive representation tailored to the unique needs of professional athletes
At Lonich Patton Ehrlich Policastri, we understand the unique challenges professional athletes face both on and off the field. From maintaining peak performance to navigating public scrutiny, athletes operate under pressures that make family law matters—such as divorce, paternity actions, custody disputes, and support issues—especially complex. Frequent travel, demanding schedules, and high-profile careers require legal representation that is strategic, efficient, and discreet.
For more than three decades, our firm has represented professional athletes across a wide range of family law and estate planning matters. Through this experience, we have developed a focused practice dedicated to addressing the distinct legal, financial, and privacy concerns that arise in the athletic profession. Our attorneys provide highly personalized representation designed to protect our clients’ interests while minimizing disruption to their careers.
Lonich Patton Ehrlich Policastri is well-versed in handling high-profile matters with the utmost professionalism, discretion, and confidentiality. We tailor every legal strategy to align with our clients’ career demands, personal goals, and long-term interests. Our goal is to safeguard your rights, financial security, and family relationships—allowing you to remain focused on your career while we handle the legal challenges such as:
Paternity Actions:
Paternity matters are a significant component of our athlete-focused practice. These cases often involve determining parental rights and responsibilities for unmarried parents, establishing legal parentage, and addressing custody, visitation, and support obligations. We represent athletes in paternity actions with sensitivity, discretion, and a strategic approach designed to protect both their parental rights and their privacy.
Child Custody and Parenting Plans:
Custody arrangements involving professional athletes require thoughtful planning. Travel schedules, training demands, seasons, and out-of-state or international competition must all be considered. We craft customized parenting plans that account for these realities while prioritizing the best interests of the child and preserving meaningful parent-child relationships.
Child and Spousal Support:
Support issues involving professional athletes are often complex and uncertain. Athletes frequently earn high but variable income from salaries, bonuses, endorsements, incentives, and performance-based compensation that may fluctuate year to year. We work to ensure that support obligations are fair, accurately calculated, and reflective of current and future earning realities, while also protecting our clients from unreasonable or unsupported claims.
Prenuptial and Premarital Agreements:
Professional athletes often enter marriage with substantial assets, earning potential, and public exposure. Our attorneys specialize in drafting comprehensive prenuptial and premarital agreements designed to protect separate property, future earnings, endorsements, and intellectual property interests, while providing clarity and security for both parties.
Domestic Violence Matters:
We are committed to supporting athletes who are facing domestic violence issues, whether seeking protection or responding to allegations. These matters require immediate, strategic, and discreet legal action. Our team provides compassionate yet firm representation focused on protecting our clients’ rights, reputations, and families.
Privacy, Confidentiality, and Fairness in High-Profile Cases:
For professional athletes, privacy and impartiality are paramount. Divorce, custody, and support proceedings can raise concerns about public exposure, media attention, and fairness. We handle all matters with strict confidentiality and take proactive steps to minimize public scrutiny. Our goal is to resolve disputes efficiently and strategically while safeguarding our clients’ reputations and personal lives.
We invite you to contact Lonich Patton Ehrlich Policastri for a confidential consultation. Our attorneys are dedicated to providing elite-level representation to professional athletes, combining legal excellence, discretion, and an unwavering commitment to protecting your future.
