Divorce mediator providing creative and compassionate solutions, without going to court
I am a dedicated Collaborative divorce attorney and trained mediator. My practice focuses on assisting anyone who is thinking about a divorce and wants to do so in a dignified and mature manner. I am specially trained to help you navigate this path in a way that will not financially or emotionally bankrupt you or your family. And best of all, it does not involve the courts. Collaborative divorce is a totally private process, with a team of professionals who are there to assist you with finding a better way forward and coming up with an agreement that you and your family can live with for years to come. Mediation is a confidential process that provides you with a safe setting where you can work together with your spouse, or significant other, with a neutral person there to facilitate the settlement talks. Again, the tremendous benefit to you is that there is no court involvement at all. Please reach out for a free consultation to see if either Collaborative divorce or mediation may be the right fit for you.
Practice areas
Collaborative divorce is a completely private process that helps you achieve a settlement which focuses on the needs of your family. It is unlike the traditional method of divorce, where the divorcing couple fight in court, call now.
Mediation is a private, confidential alternative to traditional divorce litigation. If you and your spouse agree that your divorce will move forward but you do not want to fight, Divorce Mediation may be the right choice for you.

Relationship: Worked together on matter
Liz and I have worked together on several matters and I have never ceased to be impressed by her grasp of the law, her integrity, her responsiveness and her genuine caring for what is best not only for her client but for the whole family. The best interest of the children is always at the forefront in her thinking. When I needed an attorney for a personal matter, I turned to Liz, and she was as prepared, professional and compassionate as I knew she would be. I could not recommend her more highly.
