Michael drafts more than 200 prenups each year, with particular expertise in startup equity, RSUs, stock options, and immigration considerations.

He'll represent you — and work collaboratively with your partner's independent attorney to reach an agreement you can both stand behind.

Our practice is concentrated on family and estate planning law.

We handle prenups, postnups, and estate plans for professionals with complex financial lives. If your situation involves startup equity, stock options, real estate holdings, or cross-border considerations — this is what we do every day.

Premarital Agreements

Customized prenups that protect your interests while fostering a collaborative process with your partner and their attorney. We draft more than 200 prenups each year, with particular depth in startup equity, RSUs, and complex compensation structures.

We represent you — and coordinate smoothly with your partner's independent counsel to reach an agreement you can both feel good about.

Marital Agreements & Estate Planning

Postnuptial restructuring during marriage — often in response to significant financial growth, a new business, or inheritance. Plus clear, streamlined estate plans: wills, trusts, and healthcare directives.

We design these for professionals who want simplicity without sacrificing substance.

How it works

We've partnered with Neptune — a platform that handles intake, organization, and coordination so your attorneys can focus entirely on the legal work.

Share your details

Answer questions through Neptune's platform about your finances, goals, and priorities. Thoughtful prompts help you and your partner get aligned before attorneys enter the picture.

Free attorney consultation

Each partner gets a free 20-30 minute conversation with their attorney. Review your full picture — assets, goals, concerns — and decide whether to move forward.

Drafting & review

Your attorney drafts a fully customized agreement, walks you through every provision, and collaborates until both partners feel genuinely confident.

Sign with confidence

Your final agreement — clear, thorough, and built to hold up in court. Neptune coordinates notarization so there are no last-minute surprises.

Get started with Neptune

A prenup isn't planning for failure. It's building with intention.

The prenup process can be one of the most meaningful conversations a couple has before marriage — a chance to discuss values, expectations, and financial vision openly, and without pressure. When done right, it's not a defensive document. It's a proactive tool that creates clarity and reduces the potential for future conflict.

The couples who approach a prenup as a shared project — rather than an adversarial negotiation — come out of the process closer than when they went in. We designed our entire practice around that belief.

Meet Michael C. Cotugno, Esq.

Managing Partner · Neptune Legal, P.C.

Michael has been practicing family law for more than 30 years. After spending the first two decades of his career in litigation, he saw firsthand the emotional and financial toll couples face when key financial issues are left unresolved. That experience changed the direction of his practice entirely.

Today, Michael works exclusively on premarital agreements, postnuptial agreements, and mediation — with a particular depth of expertise in complex financial situations: startup equity, RSUs, stock options, and immigration considerations. He drafts more than 200 prenups each year.

He's known for translating dense legal concepts into clear, practical guidance — and for guiding couples through the process with confidence, care, and no unnecessary complexity.
