The Practice of Collaborative Law




What do lawyers learn in law school? 
They learn to win... 

What makes Collaborative Lawyers different?  
They start - by thinking about how to solve problems.



The Who, What, When, Why and How Collaborative Law works. 




Collaborative Lawyers, like Lincoln, 163 years ago, Discourage litigation. They Persuade neighbors to compromise whenever they can. Point out to them how the nominal winner is often a real loser -- in fees, expenses, and waste of time. As a peacemaker these lawyer's have a superior opportunity of being  good men and women. There will still be business enough.
adapted from--July 1, 1850  Notes for a Law Lecture by Abraham Lincoln

The Family Law Arena


Robert Anderson once said "In every marriage more than a week old, there are grounds for divorce. The trick is to find, and continue to find, grounds for marriage"; sometimes that simply does not happen and your happily ever after can take a slight detour. 



In Family Law, that detour can have multiple players who can change your life, beyond your control; but if you know your rights and you know what's coming and you choose your Attorney wisely like the one in this interview you'll understand why
