About Martha New
Martha New Milam practices family law in North Carolina and is a partner at Reinhardt Milam & Fisher, PLLC. She combines court-side work and mediation in matters that often involve complex financial questions. Clients and colleagues see her role at the firm as both legal counsel and a resource on the financial dimensions of family disputes.
Milam's path in the profession centers on two recognitions that shape her practice. She is certified in Family Law by the North Carolina State Bar Board of Legal Specialization. She also holds certification in Family Financial Mediation from the North Carolina Dispute Resolution Commission. Those credentials guide how she evaluates cases and how she prepares for settlement discussions and mediations.
At the firm she serves as a partner and member. Her days split between meeting with clients, preparing filings, and working through settlements. Where financial division and support calculations are central, she draws on the mediation credential to help parties explore options outside the courtroom. That combination of courtroom readiness and mediation skill informs the way she approaches each matter.
Those who practice alongside Milam describe a lawyer attuned to numbers and paper as well as to negotiation posture. She regularly deals with valuation issues, settlement structure, and the practical implications of support orders. The mediation training adds tools for translating complex financial arrangements into workable agreements for families.
Outside individual casework, Milam participates in firm-level strategy about how to handle cases that raise both legal and financial complexity. She mentors more junior lawyers at the firm on aspects of family financial analysis. Her work often requires coordinating with forensic accountants, financial planners, and other specialists to assemble a full picture for clients.
In court and at the mediation table, Milam emphasizes clarity. She aims to clarify options, present the financial facts, and help clients make informed choices. Today she continues to represent clients in family law matters and serves as a family financial mediator in North Carolina.
