Guiding You Through Mediation with Compassion and Skill

Our law firm's core values of trust and communication are most clearly seen in the process of mediation. Our exclusive practice in family law has provided us with extensive experience working with clients as they negotiate through mediation. We work with the mediators and clients to draw up agreements in legal terms so that every party walks away with a clear understanding.

Many additional benefits to mediation include:

  • Smoother transition to a new life. Whether the spouses decide to work out their differences or continue with the separation, mediation facilitates a more amiable transition.
  • Settling property and asset division outside of court, where each spouse's interests can be heard in an open environment. Divisions are made on your own terms, rather than the terms of the court.
  • Less hostile environment for any children involved. When couples are willing to enter into mediation, children are free of the emotional burden experienced in many harrowing court dates.
