A FAMILY MEDIATOR AND COLLABORATIVE DIVORCE ATTORNEY EXPERIENCED IN AND COMMITTED TO EMOTIONALLY HEALTHY, PEACEFUL, OUT-OF-COURT RESOLUTIONS.
Decisions about how you will raise and care for your children, or who to share and divide your property after a divorce or separation, or how to work within a new family structure are complex and emotional. Mediation and Collaborative options empower you to make thoughtful and objective out-of-court decisions that are best for you and your family. You may find you need customized legal guidance to help you through difficult circumstances. I value you and your family’s needs and time and will work with you to help you peacefully address challenging situations..

Julie N. Client.
Divorce is going to be a stressful process anyway. The adversarial nature of the litigation process really only enhances that stress and creates pretty significant emotional responses to the divorce process. It’s very unlikely that anyone who goes through a litigated process is going to be happy with their divorce process, because it is such an adversarial process focusing on really a I win, you lose scenario.
Some clients for their needs may find that sitting at a kitchen table and working out the issues, works just fine for them. Some clients feel that they may need the litigated process. I focus on collaborative divorce and mediation because I find that the out of court process is a significant benefit to the clients in working towards a resolution that is acceptable to both parties. The clients are empowered both in mediation and in the collaborative divorce process to focus on a resolution that meets their needs.
