We believe that preparing a case to win at trial is the only way to protect your rights when negotiating a settlement. First and foremost, we are proud of our record as effective and successful trial lawyers.
But we also understand the importance of tempering our strategies through a collaborative divorce process, when circumstances allow.

We understand the difficulties and emotional strain that come with a court trial make an already overwhelming predicament much harder for all parties involved.
Our attorneys are specialized in assisting clients with divorce negotiation solutions with their future-former spouse that serve all theirs and their family’s best interest. We will guide and advise you through the entire mediation and arbitration process should you decide to go this route.
Divorce Mediation is a non-adversarial alternative to a traditional court hearing. In mediation, divorcing parties are allowed to negotiate directly with one another with the help of a third-party mediator. During the mediation process attorneys take on the role of an advisor, guiding their client with advice and direction to take into negotiations with their spouse and mediator.
The Divorce Mediation process is cooperative in nature. Advising for mediation requires a nuanced approach tailored to specific challenges that differ from an adversarial court trial. With our guidance, we will make sure you walk into every negotiation with confidence and composure.
Divorce Arbitration is another alternative to a traditional court hearing where the parties bring in a specialized third-party mediator known as an “arbitrator” to help reach an agreement through negotiation. They may choose an arbitrator with specific expertise in a field relating to a main pain point of the issue, such as taxes, real estate management, child custody, and more.
As your attorney we will assist in guiding you through the challenges of the arbitration process, such as selecting an appropriate arbitrator and structuring a position that ensures your family’s best interests are preserved.
In divorces involving custody and children’s issues, it is a common strategy to claim the other spouse is emotionally or physically abusive. A false accusation of domestic violence can result in a permanent record and affect your future forever. We know how to thoroughly investigate the accusations and prepare the strongest, clearest case to protect your rights.
