Comments

I believe Collaborative Practice is an excellent alternative for most divorcing couples, especially those with children. Collaborative Practice allows the parties to control their process and their outcome, and provides a team approach, which makes sure that all aspects of the case are addressed by qualified professionals. Collaborative provides the opportunity for a couple to have the 'best divorce' possible. Regardless of the type of family law case, we strive to treat our clients and our professional colleagues with dignity and consideration through cooperation and respectful communication.
