Bucks County Lawyer Hillary Moonay Speaks on Social Media and Its Affect on Family Law Matters

The program will address the many issues that arise during litigation as a result of the vast use of social media.  Among the topics are what lawyers should tell clients about the use of social media during litigation proceedings; the risks of clients continuing to use social media against their attorney’s advice; and how social media can be used to discover information about the opposing party as part of the litigation process.

She is well-versed in the financial aspects of divorce cases, including the intricate issues related to complex business valuations and forensic accounting matters.
