A partner at DCS, Mia has the experience, support and toughness clients need to make it through divorces and family upheavals. She has been practicing in New Jersey since 2003, and represents clients in Mercer, Somerset and Middlesex Counties. Her approach is client-driven, and where applicable, child-centered. Mia has particular experience with clients in complex family cases, high-asset cases, families with small businesses and those struggling in families with mental health issues. She has worked with numerous divorcing clients who have special needs children. She has an extensive professional network that she uses to assist clients in making connections with other professionals, such as accountants, appraisers, and therapists.
As a mediator, Mia's dispute resolution experience is scholarly and practical. She was the Hewlett Fellow for Dispute Resolution at the University of Wisconsin, where she received her Ph.D. Prior to her family law practice, she worked in academia, and published on the scholarly issues of dispute resolution such as fairness, settlement and process. As a practicing attorney and mediator on the court-approved list for civil and family since 2003, Dr. Cahill is mindful of the benefits- and the pitfalls- of mediation. She strives to help the couple achieve their goals in dispute resolution.
