PRACTICE AREAS

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.

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.

Family mediation is applied to practice areas which include: Divorce, Child Custody, Cohabitation Agreements between couples who live together, Non-Marital Parenting Agreements, Marriage, Prenuptial and Postnuptial Agreements between married parties, Estate Planning, Family Businesses, Elder Care, Probate of Estates, and Same Sex Couples Relationships.
