Clear agreements for every stage of your life together.
Whether you’re about to marry or have been married for years, the right agreement brings certainty at every stage. We help couples decide together first, and replace the state’s default rules with a plan you designed on purpose.
Premarital agreements
A prenup isn’t a bet against your marriage. It’s an honest conversation about what each of you brings and how you’ll handle what comes next.
Marital Agreements
AKA postnups, marital agreements let married couples clarify or restructure their finances as life changes, often after significant financial growth, a new business or an inheritance.
Estate planning
Build in peace of mind for the future. Wills, trusts and healthcare directives that protect each other long after the wedding day.
Love, with a plan.
A cooperative process, not an adversarial negotiation. Each of you has your own attorney, working toward an agreement you can both stand behind.

Your agreement should reflect your goals, not only your assets.

Meet Michael C. Cotugno, Esq.
Michael has practiced family law in California for more than 30 years. After two decades in litigation, seeing the toll unresolved financial issues take on couples, he now works exclusively on prenups, postnups and mediation.
He drafts more than 200 prenups each year, brings particular depth to startup equity, RSUs, stock options and immigration considerations, and is known for clear, practical guidance.

About us
“A prenup isn’t planning for failure. It’s building with intention.”
Couples who approach a prenup as a shared project, rather than an adversarial negotiation, often come out of the process closer than when they went in. We designed our practice around that belief.
Beyond the Ring: How Smart Couples Use Premarital Agreements to Secure Their Financial Future and Strengthen Their Marriage shows how a prenup can be one of the most honest and connecting conversations a couple ever has. Drawing on more than 30 years in family law, the book explains how premarital agreements work, what your state decides for you if you don’t have one, and how to talk about money, property and the future with openness instead of fear.
The book is co-authored by Michael C. Cotugno, Esq., and Janessa F. Cotugno, who have worked side by side for about 20 years. Both hold an M.A. in Spiritual Psychology, and together they bring a rare mix of legal precision and insight into how couples communicate. The result is a practical, hopeful guide for anyone who wants to start a marriage with clarity, trust and a shared plan.
