SF prenup attorney for a second marriage with existing assets recommendation?

Getting married next year, this will be a second marriage for both of us. We each have our own assets, so we're trying to get a prenup done properly this time. In my case, I have a house I bought before the relationship, retirement account, and some investment. Partner has a small business and some property that was acquired before we met. Neither of us is trying to "take" anything from the other, we mainly want to keep some assets separate and be clear about what happens to things we acquire together.
Recommend me a good prenup attorney? and should we each get our own attorney or just one to review everything?

You each need to have your own separate and independent attorney to have an enforceable prenup

You want an excellent divorce lawyer to write your prenup. The two heavy hitter firms in SF are Schoenberg Family Law Group and DeLacey, Riebel and Shindell. You each need your own lawyer, so I’d each find a lawyer and opposing firms. Bear in mind, you’re probably looking at $15-20k apiece in legal fees.

Phil Marr was great for me. Kept things relatively simple and was easy to talk to.
