Hear From Our Previous Clients

“Going through the most difficult time of my life, I had the tremendous good fortune of being represented by Micah Royer. Micah invested himself in my case, my situation, and my life. His integrity, expertise, and compassion eased the stress and brought clarity where I had none. Through his efforts, I was able to get through the proceedings and begin the healing process much more smoothly and with confidence that the future was full of hope.”

David f.

“There is no way to put into words how wonderful my experience was with Micah and Kim. Divorce was the most difficult life experience I’ve ever had to navigate. The thoughtful and caring guidance I received helped me maintain my sanity throughout the process. My case was settled efficiently and ethically. They say only lawyers win in court, but everyone involved knows I won this one.”

Kelly C.

“After dealing with several attorneys through a painful divorce, Attorney Micah Royer at Coldwell Bowes did an amazing job representing, advising, and supporting me after my ex-wife filed a lawsuit against me. His calm and steady presence very successfully steered me through depositions, appearances before the court, mediation, and arbitration over a thirteen-month period, and because of his hard work, I have more time with my kids. I'm beyond thankful to Micah and his team, and would highly recommend him and his firm.”

DIVORCE MEDIATION & ARBITRATION: COOPERATIVE ALTERNATIVE TO COURT

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

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

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.

IF YOU HAVE BEEN WRONGFULLY ACCUSED, WE CAN HELP

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.

We have built our reputation on providing exceptional client service, beginning with responsive communication and clear expectations.
