Divorce Mediation Services
After many years of litigation services, we have added to our arsenal the ability to provide Mediation Services. This addition came about not only from work related experience in the Litigation area but also from some hard personal experience. Divorce Mediation is the bringing together two adverse parties in creating a document that does not totally rely on the courthouse but in meeting the needs of the parties involved and their family units. Statistics show that mediated agreements return to court far less often then litigated agreements. Our approach is to forge a mutually acceptable understanding between the parties with a keen eye towards the children and financial well being. Mediation is conducted with both parties in a safe environment, with all session agreements being formulated into a Memo of Understanding. Once this Memo is to the satisfaction of the parties, it is strongly encouraged that each party consult with their own "review" counsel to review this agreement. The Memo is then incorporated into a legal document prepared by an attorney and the legal process of an "uncontested matter" begins.

The reason for choosing Mediation versus Litigation can one of cost, but most importantly utilizes the concept that "only you know what is best for you and your family". Make no mistake, it is still important to have attorneys and maybe financial advisors or appraisers, but the content of your agreement is yours to craft.
