Collaborative Divorce

Collaborative Divorce

Even though your marriage is ending, your divorce does not have to be a court battle where one side continually tries to gain the upper hand, where marital assets are hidden from each other and character assassinations destroy even the most memorable moments in a marriage.

As a trained and certified Collaborative attorney, I offer a solution-oriented alternative where dignity, integrity and trust are rewarded. Together we will create a safe place so that everyone can talk about the issues surrounding the divorce; where the husband, wife and children are treated with respect and dignity; and where we nurture and help define the co-parenting and the after-divorce relationships.

For some, a collaborative divorce will simply not work. In these cases, I recommend divorce mediation.

A key component of any successful lawsuit is the ability to help people solve their legal disputes efficiently.  In almost every instance, it is better to keep divorce clients out of the courtroom whenever possible and resolve marital disputes before they develop into full-blown problems.  I am a credentialed mediator and I have twenty-five years of experience using mediation to compassionately end a marriage. This experience often allows clients to successfully resolve problems without the costs, delays and uncertainty of a trial.

Wills & Probate

Wills & Probate

Planning for the well-being of your family once you are gone requires the thoughtful preparation of your Will. You should decide who gets what, how things should be handled in your absence and who is the best choice to carry out your wishes.

A properly prepared Will provides that guidance and gives those instructions. I can help you to ensure your plans are carried out in the way you wish.
