WHY CHOOSE COLLABORATIVE LAW?

"Out beyond ideas of rightdoing and wrongdoing is a field.  I will meet you there."   Rumi

COOPERATIVE APPROACH: Each party is represented by an attorney who
works cooperatively with the other attorney and
spouse to resolve all divorce related issues.

NO COURT BATTLES: Focus is settlement without the threat of court.

CLIENT FRIENDLY: Parties are essential members of the settlement team.

EFFICIENT: Process is faster and more cost efficient than litigation because the
clients, not court calendars, guide the speed.

WIN-WIN CLIMATE: Spouses and their attorneys work together to develop a
reasonable and fair settlement.

CREATIVE PROCESS: Process allows the parties to be more creative in
achieving settlement goals.

CLIENTS IN CONTROL: Parties control the approach to the case.

LESS COSTLY: Process is usually less costly and less time consuming than
litigation.

CHILD FOCUSED: Parents and attorneys cooperate to keep the children out of
the conflict.

PRIVACY: The family history and finances are not discussed or open to the
public
