Types of Unbundled Services Offered

Approach to Providing Unbundled Legal Services:

Mediation: I do not have family mediation training. I have acted as counsel in 6-10 mediations in the last 5 years. I do not act as mediator.

Approach to Supporting Clients in Mediation:

In any resolution, I see it as any lawyer's role to provide a comprehensive legal understanding to their client in order for the client to have the confidence to make sound decisions. This is the foundation, beyond that, I see my role as listening to my client to understand what they value. This enable me to advise my client with creative and strategic options that they may not have otherwise had the benefit of.

Where there is an imbalance of power between the spouses, my role includes balancing this. This again allows my client to have the confidence to reach a reasonable resolution that is fair between all parties.
