Many people intrigued by the concept of mediation are unwilling or hesitant to proceed without an attorney, even with a neutral mediator present. Collaborative law offers a cooperative forum and yet retains the protections of individual representation. Contact an attorney experienced in collaborative law at our firm today to discuss your case.
Using Collaborative Law to Solve Family Law Problems
Collaborative law can produce mutually satisfying solutions without the emotional conflict and expense of traditional divorce negotiation and litigation. The process gives the parties control over the outcome, produces more predictable results and can build a framework for future cooperative problem solving.
Attorney Sue Brown uses the techniques of collaborative law and mediation exclusively because she believes they provide families with the best means for navigating transitions in a positive way. Mediation and collaborative practice focus on solutions for the future, rather than problems of the past.
