Choose a lawyer who is experienced in collaborative law

As a founder of the Collaborative Law Institute of Illinois, I am an active in the Collaborative Law community of professionals. I am also a fellow of the Collaborative Law Institute of Illinois, meeting and exceeding the fellowship qualifications.

What is collaborative law?

Collaborative law is a form of dispute resolution that is used to help divorcing couples reach amicable, workable and mutual divorce settlement agreements. Each person is represented by an attorney who is trained in collaborative law. The attorneys and divorcing parties sign a participation agreement. The participation agreement provides that both parties will work with one another in good faith and with total disclosure of all pertinent matters. It further provides that neither party will take matters to court or threaten to go to court as a negotiation tactic. Typically, the only use of the court is for the brief (approximately five minutes) uncontested hearing, in which the judge signs the settlement agreement.

Collaborative law puts the power in your hands. Are you interested in learning more about how I can help you reach a workable and amicable divorce agreement through collaborative law? Contact me today to arrange your consultation.

Divorce can be an adversarial and contentious process that can cost you time, money and emotional well-being. Consider choosing divorce mediation to help you reach satisfying, sensible and peaceful resolutions. Consider the alternative of choosing a “Quiet Divorce™”. I provide guidance to clients interested in making the divorce process work for them, rather than against them.

Are you interested in a Quiet Divorce™?

I have almost 20 years of mediation experience, and have received extensive training. I now train new mediators and offer them guidance with my monthly case consultation group. Mediation enables people to make their own decisions without the pressure and expense of the adversarial legal process. Conflicts are resolved and satisfying divorce agreements are reached. I assist families in reaching agreements in the following:

• Property division (estates of all sizes)
• Debt allocation
• Child custody disputes
• Visitation
• Alimony
• Child support issues
• Parenting plans
• Prenuptial agreements
• Separation agreements
• Same sex partners
• Cohabitation agreements
• Paternity issues

A note about child custody arrangements

When I work with parents in mediation, I keep the focus on the children and the best interests of the children. Parents in mediation are able to devise parenting plans that will provide the optimal outcome for the children, tailored to the individual needs of the children.

Let me help you find an amicable and workable resolution to your divorce and family law matters. Contact me today to arrange your consultation.
