Robert L Baum

I offer a full array of family law dispute resolution options.  I have over 30 years of litigation, negotiation and mediation experience, so I can offer a variety of ways to help you with your situation.  I know the pitfalls of family law litigation, including the toll it takes on the family, the expense and uncertainty.  I have become a leader in advancing alternative dispute resolution, especially mediation and collaborative law.  I have extensive trial experience which I use when necessary, but if I am representing a client my negotiation skills usually get my clients good outcomes without a trial. 

My practice is split between representing family members and mediation for the family.  I mediate many divorce separation and settlement agreements, but also any disputes that need the guidance of an experienced neutral to resolve the situation. In addition to divorce mediation I mediate guardianships, custody, non-marital separations, inter-generational disputes and whatever matters require a neutral to help resolve the dispute. 

I have practiced in several areas of the law, so that I can bring varied experiences to the table. As detailed in my biography, I have both a family law and business law background. I can bring a business perspective to family law issues and the family law perspective to business disputes.

As a litigator and alternative dispute resolution attorney, my goal is to help you resolve your dispute in a way that costs you as little as possible in terms of time, money and pain.
