WE CAN BRIDGE THE GAP

We work closely with you to identify your needs, understand your goals, seek clarity, and help you develop and implement solutions tailored to your situation.

Divorce Mediation

Divorce Mediation is a sensible alternative to a traditionally litigated courtroom battle. It is a confidential, voluntary process whereby both spouses negotiate their Agreement together with a neutral mediator in a non-threatening environment. Contact us for a free consultation.

Collaborative Practice

The collaborative practice of law is a way of practicing law whereby the lawyers for both of the parties to a dispute agree to assist the parties in resolving conflict using cooperative strategies rather than adversarial techniques and litigation.

Pre and Post Nuptial Agreements

The mediation process provides a constructive environment to discuss the expectations couples have in the contemplated marriage and for couples who are experiencing challenges in their existing marriage but do not want to divorce.
Contact us for a free consultation.
