After years of practice and a wealth of highly contentious litigated cases, I have found one thing to be true: families do not belong in court.  The emotional and financial toll of litigation is inescapable-even when my clients walked away with most of what they wanted, the family never won.  My subsequent training as a collaborative attorney and mediator deepened my commitment to helping my clients resolve their disputes in a dignified, creative manner while staying out of the courtroom.

The outcomes for clients choosing from a variety of methods under the Appropriate Divorce Resolution (ADR) umbrella-such as mediation, arbitration, and collaborative practice- have been truly amazing. I have found that the key to a successful divorce process which preserves the family and the dignity of both parties and results in deep, long lasting resolutions is client education and informed choice.  90% of divorce attorneys immediately push clients toward litigation. With so many other options available, this lack of full disclosure is inexcusable.

Our website has been designed to provide a host of resources to better educate our clients as to their options for divorce.  I also strongly encourage you to schedule a consultation to discuss the specific needs of your family and gain full disclosure on all the options available.
