Process Options

We work with clients to choose a path for resolution of their legal matter that is right for them depending on the complexity of the case and level of conflict. Whether we are preparing you for mediation, negotiating on your behalf in a settlement meeting, or being your dedicated advocate in the courtroom, we are versatile and skilled to meet your needs. Every family presents a unique set of facts and issues. It is important to choose an attorney who understands that there are many ways to resolve a family law dispute and takes the time to explore different options with you starting on day one. Below are the ways that we work with clients to address their needs.

Limited Representation

We can provide limited-scope representation to help you through your “DIY Divorce.” A DIY Divorce, also referred to as a Kitchen Table divorce or Coffeeshop Divorce, is when parties work together to resolve their case on their own.

Mediation

Most of the firm’s attorneys are trained as mediators, a neutral third party that meets with the parties to address and resolve issues. Whether we are mediating the case or representing one party, we believe in empowering you to resolve your own case.

This innovative process is a non-adversarial way to resolve your dispute through a team approach involving attorneys, mental health and financial professionals, and, if necessary, child custody experts. The process can be tailor-made to suit your family and without the threat of litigation.
