I would be pleased to provide excellent mediation or collaborative law services to you and your separating spouse. During a separation, people are vulnerable, and often not thinking clearly. They ‘just want it over now’, and can’t see beyond tomorrow. They let their disappointment with each other and themselves override their best interests. I will challenge you to see ‘The Big Picture’ – before you head down the wrong road for yourself and your children. My approach to dispute resolution is founded upon over 17 years of family law experience both litigating, for parents and for children, and from helping people to negotiate resolutions successfully. What do I offer that is different than other family law lawyers? I listen to my clients, and challenge them to focus on what is best for them and their children, practically, financially and emotionally. I don’t tell people what to do, but give realistic advice about what is likely to happen if they take their family’s circumstances to court, or negotiate a resolution that is ‘just good enough’ for today. I have invested my time and education into learning how to help all kinds of people to communicate and negotiate effectively, so their results will actually let them accomplish their future goals.
