Like mediation, the Collaborative Process aims to resolve a couple's differences in a family matter through voluntary settlement negotiations rather than through litigation in court. Being charged with a criminal offense can have a serious impact on your life, especially if you're found guilty. If you've been arrested and charged, whether it's for a felony or a.

I've always known I wanted to be a Lawyer. With parents who were incarcerated and having a family separated through the legal system, I became interested in the law and strove to become someone who could defend those in their most trying times. An Indian River County native, I graduated from Sebastian River High School and earned a Bachelor's Degree in Criminal Justice from Indian River State College.
In 1990, veteran Minneapolis family attorney Stuart Webb sent a letter to Minnesota Supreme Court Justice A.M. "Sandy" Keith outlining his innovative idea - to allow couples to dissolve their marriages in a private and civilized way, outside of the judicial system.
Webb proposed that in this "collaborative" system, family law attorneys would use their negotiation and communication skills to help the parties resolve their differences outside of court.In 1992, some California professionals were working on a similar system when they learned about the system Webb had created, and the two concepts were merged the following year.

Not all family law matters need to be litigated in the court system. Mediation is often a desirable and appropriate way to resolve child custody, paternity, and support issues. The benefits of mediation include a less adversarial process, greater privacy, and potentially lower costs. Mediators remain neutral throughout the process.
Physical injuries can change your life in many ways. Not only can they diminish your overall quality of life, they can result in serious financial stress, especially if you're no longer able to perform your job and have to pay for current and future medical care. If you've experienced a personal injury that was caused by a third party, you may be entitled to compensation.

The Chesnutt Law firm helped me get my life back! My cases were completely dropped! They were super nice to work with, always on top of everything. They never forget to keep you updated on things going on, VERY PROFESSIONAL. I *highly* recommend Katlin Sanders, she really is an amazing attorney. She gets the job done in a short period of time, and remembers to let you know everything along the way. If you ever have a case going on and need an attorney or just legal advice in general I would definitely say Chesnutt Lawfirm is your best, and should be your only choice!!

I wasn't sure what to expect or what I was doing when I originally when to the Chesnutt Law Firm, however meeting with Ms. Chestnutt and Joanne they listened carefully, explained my options as well as made sure I understand each option and potential outcome and where I stood. It was very comfortable and made it easy to work with them through the process. I was informed each step of the process, there were no surprises and the outcome was better than expected. The office staff also was so professional, confidential and polite. Very thankful they were on my side.

I hired the Chesnutt Law Firm to help me adopt my grandson. I had wasted six months with a previous attorney, who was happy to take my money, but did very little in return and basically told me I didn’t stand a chance with my case. My case was somewhat unique, and Susan, Katlin, Brianna, and Joanna had to get creative with the way it was handled. They were always very professional and worked hard to get positive results for me. The adoption was finalized within one year of when I hired them, and I couldn’t be happier!
