Over the past 30 years, I have helped many people through the separation and divorce process as a family law attorney. Rarely is it a swift and comfortable journey. After years of litigating in courtrooms, I realized that both sides were usually dissatisfied with the judge's ruling. In contrast, when I am a mediator or collaborative attorney, I see people look for ways to compromise and see each other's viewpoint.

When they learn to appropriately communicate their needs and goals, they create their own outcomes-controlling their own future. If you want to learn more about ways to resolve issues without court, I would enjoy the opportunity to meet with you. The process of creating a prenuptial agreement doesn't just protect you should you need our other services down the road, but makes it less likely you will.

Are you finding yourself in a difficult place that you never expected to be? You are not alone. Change can be hard, especially when it comes to separating a family. You may really want to end this cooperatively, but that seems out of reach because you simply cannot communicate with each other.
