Candice J. Green

From the first meeting with Candice, I felt supported, listened to and educated. She was not only concerned about the details, but took time to check in with how I was doing each step of the way. Candice is professional, patient, well educated in the law, excellent communicator/listener and underst...ands how to guide one through the collaborative process. Candice was reachable when I had questions and flexible with her time to meet which really helped being a mom and working full time. I have such respect for her and appreciate all that she did for not only me, but also my family.

Candice came into a very contentious situation and was able to finalize the divorce within a matter of months. She was very good at concentrating on the actual details of the case without being caught up in the antics of my ex spouse and his attorney. Her knowledge of the law and her experience medi...ating divorces was instrumental in negotiating a settlement. Mostly, Candice was able to help me think clearly and plan for my future. She worked tirelessly reading and writing emails and crafted a settlement that had my best interest in mind. She was very thorough and rewrote the settlement agreement many times and was putting in items to make the agreement as tight as possible up to the very last minute. Already her attention to detail has paid off allowing me to live my new life worry free. Finally she accompanied me to court and helped me navigate the last minute stress and anxiety of dealing with the court system. In fact, having her handle my divorce and settlement has changed my life.

I hail from a family of lawyers. I have also engaged the services of real estate, personal injury, real estate litigation, wills and trusts, and employment attorneys. Each got the job done. Representation by Candice Green introduced me to a lawyer with heart in addition to brains. My first impres...sion was formed during a generous phone conversation with Candice. I sensed her intelligence, warmth, compassion, and big picture perspective. Little did I realize that patience and a strong right arm would be needed to guide me through a year of negotiations revolving around division of business assets. Candice either answered my phone calls and was available to converse at that time, or she returned my calls and/or emails promptly. When I needed someone to vent, Candice listened compassionately. When I required a rationale voice to steer me through an emotionally-charged situation, Candice spoke forthrightly, always without judgment or impatience. Candice turned out to be a coach and collaborative attorney rolled into one. I was strongly advised to see and meet regularly with a coach, but no one knew me and the situation better than Candice. I preferred paying Candice to serve in both capacities as they so often were intermingled throughout the entire process. I trust Candice implicitly.

I selected Candice for my collaborative divorce attorney after meeting with several other attorneys. My ex-husband and I decided to use collaborative lawyers because we were interested in working together on our settlement rather than against each other. We had an unusual situation in that we had ...decided on a birdnesting arrangement and knew there would be a lot of issues to work through that most likely wouldn’t come up in a traditional divorce proceeding. The process went smoothly for the most part and although all of us were working together toward a settlement, I was also confident that Candice was looking out for my best interest. The meetings were tedious at times and Candice did a good job of keeping everyone on topic and moving forward. I did feel, however, a few times during our meetings that we spent time going over things previously discussed. We also worked with a divorce coach who helped immensely in thinking through all the details of our complex living arrangement. I believe we wouldn’t be in the position we are today if it hadn’t been for collaborative law. We are still birdnesting over two years later, and aside from a couple small annoyances, everybody is happy – most importantly our children. I would highly recommend Candice and the collaborative approach. She was easy to talk to, kept me informed and always prepared me for the next step of the process.
