Alternative Dispute Resolution Benefits
Alternative dispute resolution methods like mediation and collaborative law offer a more cooperative approach to resolving family law disputes outside court. As a certified mediator and a proponent of collaborative divorce with formal training in the collaborative law process, I help clients find common ground while protecting their interests in divorce, custody and property concerns.
These methods offer more control, greater privacy, reduced costs and less emotional stress than litigation. Not every case is suitable for an ADR approach, but when appropriate, it can lead to more satisfactory outcomes. I guide you in determining what approach is best for your situation.

Being a staunch advocate for your clients is your priority and it is very apparent. I appreciate all your late-night emails, weekend phone calls and all of your hard work to avoid litigation.
