Retain Control Over Your Personal Legal Issues

My goal is to help YOU retain control over your personal legal issues, rather than requiring a judge to determine what is in your family's best interests. My practice focuses on family law issues. These include divorce, adoption, custody, visitation, child support, and parental rights. I am a mediation-friendly attorney and will review your settlement agreement created through mediation. I am also a collaborative law attorney who believes in the non-adversarial process for resolving family disputes.

MEDIATION

While the primary goal of mediation is to resolve differences, mediation also promotes communication and cooperation which allows you to control the decisions that affect your life. Mediation is frequently less costly than litigation. Mediation benefits children and others involved by reducing conflict.

Mediation can often be completed in less time than litigation allowing you to move ahead with your life.

MEDIATION TO STAY MARRIED

Mediación De Conflictos - Law Firm in East Longmeadow, MA

There is an effective alternative to settle differences rather than resorting to a divorce and a costly courtroom battle. I am a dispute mediator and dedicated to enhancing the practice and public understanding of conflict resolution. Through my experience in divorce mediation, I help people in conflict make practical, informed decisions to resolve many non-therapeutic issues before them in an attempt to preserve the marriage.

COLLABORATIVE FAMILY LAW

I am a trained Collaborative Law attorney who believes that family conflicts can often be better resolved outside of the courts. This means I will represent you as your attorney. All negotiations are done in cooperation with another collaborative law attorney and with the other family member involved in the dispute. Together, we agree to resolve all the issues out of court and present a joint agreement to the court at the end of the process.

DOMESTIC AND FAMILY LAW

I am able to provide mediation services for a variety of conflicts. I can mediate disputes surrounding family issues, as well as any conflict that may have arisen between two parties, such as neighbor-to-neighbor disagreements or private disputes.

LIMITED ASSISTANCE REPRESENTATION

I am qualified to provide you with my services through Limited Assistance Representation, or “LAR”. It allows me to “ghost write” court documents for you. It allows me to negotiate on your behalf or advise you without full representation in court. LAR can help cut your legal costs by “unbundling” the services provided by a lawyer.
