Comments
I have been involved in collaborative divorce cases over the past 6 years and I have attempted to educate my clients and other attorneys about the benefits of collaborative cases. While these cases do not work for everyone, I attempt to review a case with new clients and in post decree matters to determine if the collaborative process will work for them. I believe that crafting your own agreements and resolving disputes in a respectful and informed process is the best way to meet the needs of my client and of families and children facing protracted high conflict cases. Even a small business dispute can be resolved through collaboration and its highly effective, cost efficient and can save time, grief and dignity for all parties involved.
