Feigen Brenda S

Child Support
This is, of course, a heavily fraught area of the law. Back in the 1970s when Ms. Feigen began her practice of family law, it was imperative, she felt, that fathers have equal rights to shared custody with mothers. She litigated a successful case in New York's Supreme Court in which a father gained the right to share custody with his soon-to-be former wife. This case raised the ire of some other feminists who felt that such actions undermined mothers' rights not only to custody but also child support. Ms. Feigen stood firm on the side of equity for fathers and mothers.

Feigen Brenda S

Child Support
This is, of course, a heavily fraught area of the law. Back in the 1970s when Ms. Feigen began her practice of family law, it was imperative, she felt, that fathers have equal rights to shared custody with mothers. She litigated a successful case in New York's Supreme Court in which a father gained the right to share custody with his soon-to-be former wife. This case raised the ire of some other feminists who felt that such actions undermined mothers' rights not only to custody but also child support. Ms. Feigen stood firm on the side of equity for fathers and mothers.
Child Custody and Visitation
Ms. Feigen's interest in same-sex marriage, as well as the recent recognition by California of same-sex marriage is evident in the enthusiasm with which she draws up pre-nuptual agreements. She also drafts separation agreements should marriages be at an end. Part of Ms. Feigen's practice is devoted to facilitating the sharing of child custody in same-sex cases invariably involving a biological parent and an adoptive parent -- where that is appropriate and in the best interests of the children. Many years later, admitted to practice in California, as well as New York, Ms. Feigen enjoys the process of helping people join in or dissolve their marriages because it allows her to use her skill negotiating contracts. She also represents both women and men in divorce and custody cases.
Spousal Support
All sorts of issues arise when couples contemplate a divorce, and Ms. Feigen is conversant with all of them, having practiced family law in New York when it was a “fault” state and then became “no fault”. California Community Property laws are comprehensive but often complex due to the need to divide the couple’s jointly owned assets equally. New York's equitable division of property is similarly challenging. Fortunately, Ms. Feigen was a math major in college so the sometimes hefty arithmetic needed to figure out the best solution comes easily to her. She is equally at ease in helping her clients arrive at the proper maintenance and alimony payment amounts.

Criminal Defense
The Lawrence majority further stated that “religious beliefs, conceptions of right and acceptable behavior,... respect for the traditional family... [and] profound and deep convictions accepted as ethical and moral principles” may not be used by the majority through “the power of the State to enforce its views on the whole society through operation of the criminal law.” [22]
Prostitution
State laws against bigamy, same-sex marriage, adult incest, prostitution, masturbation, adultery, fornication, bestiality, and obscenity are likewise sustainable only in light of Bowers’ validation of laws based on moral choices. Every single one of these laws is called into question by today’s decision; the Court makes no effort to cabin the scope of its decision to exclude them from its holding. [27]

Business and Corporate Law

Business Disputes
Ms. Feigen recently was happy to accept the invitation by the Beverly Hills Bar Association to join its Business Litigation Inn of Court. She also is a member of the Executive Committee of the Beverly Hills Bar Business Law Section.
Business Transactions
Intellectual Property
Brenda Feigen specializes in the fields of intellectual property and entertainment law, including film, television, multi-media, literary, art, music and sports matters. Click here for representative clients.

Wrongful Termination
Brenda Feigen is an experienced women’s rights, civil rights, employment and entertainment law attorney who fights hard for her clients, whether they be individuals who have experienced discrimination, harassment or wrongful termination, who need severance or other contracts negotiated or want to negotiate agreements related to film, TV, music or book deals, who are seeking funding for films, or, in general, are individuals who need contracts negotiated.
Employment Discrimination
Ms. Feigen co-founded the ACLU's Women's Rights Project with now Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg in 1972 and then expanded its scope to include the Reproductive Freedom Rights Project, where her attention was focused not only on abortion rights but also, in three different federal class-action lawsuits, on the rights of poor, minority women to be free from unwanted sterilization. She has litigated sex discrimination cases that involved both violations of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, as well as landmark constitutional cases. She sat at the counsel table as then Professor Ginsburg argued the landmark case...
Employment Contract
Feigen reviews contracts of all kinds for employees who are about to be employed. She urges all clients, regardless of their level of employment, to request that the terms of their employment be in writing. That includes amount of pay as well as length of employment. In her negotiations with potential employers, she also insists that the employee only may be fired for cause – and that means there has to be a good reason for terminating employment. Health and other benefits, e.g. necessary leaves, should be included. Feigen has negotiated agreements terminating employment with a focus on back and front pay, namely for how long the employee must continue to be paid a salary, as well as other damages. Of course, health benefits are very important. Some employers offer more generous COBRAs than others. To Feigen, everything is a negotiation and employees must not fear that asking for more than what is offered will, in any way, hurt them. She is usually also successful in arranging for her legal fees to be assumed by the employer. Feigen ensures that future employers will be advised that questions about the employee’s termination are to be handled by a designated person and that answers will reflect only length of employment and salary paid. Subjective impressions should not be shared with future employers.
Severance Agreement
Sexual Harassment
Ms. Feigen has been involved with sex discrimination, sexual harassment, race, ethnic origin, age, disability, religion and sexual orientation discrimination cases for over five decades. Having graduated from Harvard Law School, she was both a plaintiff and attorney in a successful four-pronged class action lawsuit against the Harvard Club of New York City that had, prior to the suit's filing, refused to admit women as full members, only allowing them to go through a side door to the second floor tea rooms. You can imagine her shock when recently she read the "history" of the HCNY in which the Club, not the women who sued it, claimed credit for willingly opening its doors.

Real Estate Transactions
Brenda Feigen's practice involves the negotiation of many different kinds of business transactions. Her clients are diverse, some corporate and other entities; some, individuals. Because she is admitted to practice in three states and has arrangements with local counsel in others, Ms. Feigen's clients are not limited to residents of California. She gives both legal and practical business advice, where required. Her expertise ranges from employment contracts of all kinds to real estate transactions that require not only knowledge of the law but also a sharp business acumen.
