Profession(s)

Lawyer

I am an attorney determined to change the negative perception the public has about lawyers. I try to call my clients back within 24 hours, I listen to my clients and fight hard when necessary. However, there is such a thing as an amicable divorce which is why I became a collaboratively trained attorney.

Comments

I became collaboratively trained because I found Collaborative Law to be a wonderful option for people thinking about divorce who want to handle things respectfully, with dignity and can see the big picture...getting divorced instead of...getting even. Often times, getting even means wasting money on pointless arguments, blaming, and it just delays the inevitable. The beauty of Collaborative Law is that it keeps clients focused on the big picture and away from detours which gets the process off track. I wish more people would consider a Collaborative Divorce and see the short term and long term benefits not only for him/her but for their family as a whole.
