Dawn M. Boyd understands how important your family and legal issues are to you and the importance of a cooperative attorney and client relationship. She has practiced law since 1998 focusing in the areas of Family and Juvenile Law, Real Estate and Property, Contracts, Litigation, and Appeals. She is also a Certified Family Law Mediator in the State of Indiana and is listed on the Registry of Approved Court Mediators with the Supreme Court of Indiana.
As a party advocate in contested family law and civil matters, she has consistently seen the great benefits that result from mediation without the stress and acrimony that can spring from litigation. Responsible advocacy, especially in the areas of family disputes, is problem resolution, not problem escalation. However, should the need for litigation arise, Ms. Boyd has an extensive and strong background in contested advocacy, and will vigorously pursue your interests.
Ms. Boyd is accepting new clients and referrals to serve as a family law mediator in both represented and pro se (unrepresented by an attorney) cases. She generally handles cases in Allen, Noble, Kosiusko, Huntington, and Whitley counties.
