Mediation 40%

With expertise in family law mediation, the firm recognizes the long-term, emotional damage caused by high conflict transitions. Through mediation, the focus is providing the tools to navigate emotionally and financially complex family transitions, whether building the foundation for, or dissolving a marriage. Guiding parties through the mediation process fosters respect and better communication, and empowers clients to proceed with confidence.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
