Jordan S. Dizik

About Jordan

Jordan S. Dizik is an Oakland County family law attorney who has represented clients at both the trial court and appellate level. A Founding Partner at Dizik Kaplan, Jordan brings deep experience in all aspects of family law — from complex divorce proceedings and high-net-worth asset division to contested custody matters and comprehensive parenting arrangements. He represents people navigating the most consequential decisions of their lives, and he brings to every matter the preparation and intensity those decisions demand.

Jordan began his legal career at one of Michigan's most respected boutique family law firms, where he developed expertise in sophisticated family law matters. He subsequently moved to one of Michigan's largest law firms, where he continued to build his practice and reputation among peers. In January 2018, Jordan founded The Dizik Law Firm, which evolved into the partnership Dizik Kaplan. Throughout his career, he has obtained results at both the trial court and appellate level — a particularly valuable skill in cases where standard settlement approaches are insufficient.

What distinguishes Jordan's practice is the respect he commands from other attorneys. He is regularly called upon by fellow attorneys to represent them and their own clients during difficult matters — a recognition he considers his highest professional distinction. This speaks to a reputation for both competence and integrity: when lawyers need someone they trust with their own cases, the margin for error is zero.

As an Oakland County family law attorney, Jordan understands the specific dynamics of Southeast Michigan divorces and custody matters. He is a tenacious litigator who does not accept weak settlement offers when his clients' interests demand trial. He is equally a creative problem solver who recognizes that the most durable outcomes often come through negotiated resolution when the terms are favorable. His approach to family law is strategic: every procedural decision, every discovery request, every negotiation point is calibrated to move the matter toward the best achievable result for his client.

Whether your case involves a divorce, a high-net-worth dissolution requiring forensic accounting and business valuation, or a contested custody battle, Jordan brings the same level of engagement and strategic thinking. He works closely with clients throughout the process to ensure they understand their options, the likely outcomes, and the strategic trade-offs involved in any resolution.

Representing Executives, Physicians, Athletes, and Public Figures

Divorce and family law proceedings for executives, physicians, professional athletes, and other high-profile individuals present challenges that go well beyond standard family law. The financial complexity alone — stock options, restricted stock units, deferred compensation, professional practice valuations, sports contracts, signing bonuses, and licensing agreements — demands counsel with specific experience in complex asset analysis. But the stakes extend further than the financial.

Jordan has represented corporate executives, physicians, professional athletes, and other prominent members of the community in divorce proceedings, prenuptial and postnuptial agreement drafting, and contested custody matters where privacy, professional reputation, and financial complexity all intersect.

Complex compensation and business interests. Employment agreements, stock option grants, restricted stock units with multi-year vesting schedules, deferred compensation, carried interest, and professional practice goodwill all require careful analysis and, frequently, forensic accounting and expert valuation. The characterization of these assets — marital or separate, vested or contingent — can represent significant sums in the final judgment. Jordan has the experience to identify these issues early and build the record that protects his clients' financial interests.

Athletic and entertainment contracts. Sports contracts, image rights, and endorsement agreements require specialized analysis. Determining what portion of a signing bonus, deferred salary, or long-term athletic contract constitutes a marital asset is a contested, fact-intensive analysis that requires counsel who understands both the legal framework and the structure of these agreements.

Privacy and discretion. High-profile divorce proceedings can attract public attention that compounds an already difficult process. Jordan is experienced in pursuing protective orders to restrict access to financial records, working to structure proceedings to minimize unnecessary public exposure, and handling sensitive matters with the discretion that clients in the public eye require. Confidentiality is not a courtesy for these clients — it is a professional obligation.

Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements for athletes and executives. For athletes, executives, and professionals with complex or growing assets, a carefully drafted agreement is the most effective legal protection available. Jordan drafts and negotiates prenuptial and postnuptial agreements that address business interests, intellectual property, future compensation structures, and professional licensing — providing protection across multiple potential scenarios rather than just the obvious ones.
