Approach to Providing Unbundled Legal Services:
My approach to providing unbundled legal services is as follows:
(1) understand your personal situation and your goals through the legal process;
(2) explain the law to you - i.e. what your rights and obligations are;
(3) explain the procedure to you - i.e. what the process involves; and
(4) work with you to decide what in the process is most efficient and effective for me to do and for you to do.
Mediation: I have not taken training in family mediation. I have acted as counsel in 5 or fewer family mediations in the last 5 years.
Approach to Supporting Clients in Mediation:
My approach to supporting clients in mediation is as follows:
(1) understanding your personal situation, including your relationship with the opposing party;
(2) understanding your goals through mediation;
(3) helping you understand the pros and cons (including risks) of the settlement proposals that are presented at mediation; and
(4) provide moral support to empower you to make the best decision for yourself and your family.
