COLLABORATIVE LAW DIVORCE, MEDIATION, SETTLEMENT NEGOTIATION. After many years of practicing family law, and having seen the emotional and financial damage that litigation can cause, I have chosen to focus my practice on healthier ways of resolving disputes such as Collaborative Law divorce, mediation, negotiation, and settlement advocacy. While I represent individual clients, I frequently assist couples as a neutral mediator. I believe that by focusing on constructive settlement solutions, separating couples are much more likely to make mutually beneficial decisions while preserving valuable financial resources.
