Over the past 30 years, I have helped many people through the separation and divorce process as a family law attorney. Rarely is it a swift and comfortable journey. After years of litigating in courtrooms, I realized that both sides were usually dissatisfied with the judge's ruling. In contrast, when I am a mediator or collaborative attorney, I see people look for ways to compromise and see each other's viewpoint.
When they learn to appropriately communicate their needs and goals, they create their own outcomes-controlling their own future. If you want to learn more about ways to resolve issues without court, I would enjoy the opportunity to meet with you. The process of creating a prenuptial agreement doesn't just protect you should you need our other services down the road, but makes it less likely you will.

This is certainly an exciting time for you and your soon-to-be spouse. It is important to have open communication about your property, debt and other financial issues before entering this life-changing event. Do either of you have children from a prior relationship that you would like to protect in the future in case anything happens?
It really is possible to resolve your conflicts without going into a courtroom and facing a judge. Both sides are more likely to realize a satisfactory outcome when they work with a neutral third party in mediation. Mediation is an out-of-court method to resolve your matter, where a neutral third party mediator guides you through each issue you want to discuss.
Divorce or the ending of a relationship is a sensitive and personal matter. Collaborative Practice is voluntary and confidential, seeking to reach joint resolution with a commitment by all parties to refrain from going to court. An agreement is signed that states if there is a desire to later pursue a court action, the Collaborative Team will disqualify themselves from future involvement with the case.

What an amazing experience it was with Jeanne. She is so passionate of her work and has been doing it for a long time. She was able to walk me through the process very easily and put in the work necessary to keep my daughter in my life. Will always refer back to her and I recommend any good parent to go through her. Thank you so much.
