When I am retained as a “Collaborative Attorney,” I endeavor to manage conflict and resolve a dispute. In that capacity, my task is to assist clients in meeting their goals and interests, resolving disputes ethically, with civility and professionalism, as quickly, peacefully and economically as possible through the Collaborative Law Process.
Through the Collaborative Law Process, which can be tailored to the needs of the parties in the context of the unique characteristics of their dispute, the parties benefit by the voluntary, early and peaceable settlement of their disputes; utilizing interest-based resolutions to meet their goals, concerns, and interests.
What is Collaborative Law? Collaborative Law is a process that is intended to maximize control and minimize uncertainty; it is a process by which YOU control your destiny, with the help of an attorney (and other professionals, as needed) trained in collaborative law, by engaging in pre-litigation negotiation to settle your dispute-related issues. [Note: EACH party needs to be represented by an attorney trained in Collaborative Law].
The object of the process is to negotiate a fair Settlement Agreement, which will be the basis of the dispute settlement.
Collaborative Law should be considered a potential solution in ANY dispute; but, particularly in:
- Family Disputes (see: Collaborative Divorce)
- Child Custody Disputes
- Parenting Time Disputes
- Estate Disputes
- Inheritance Disputes
- Partnership Disputes
- Stockholder Disputes
- Contract Disputes
- Land Disputes (Neighbor Disputes)
