Approach to Providing Unbundled Legal Services:
First I understand what exactly client wants and then I provide guidance about how I can provide unbundled services. I make clients understand the procedure of litigation from the beginning to the end, that way, client and I sort out what he or she will do and what I will do. That saves a lot of money for clients.
Mediation: I have not taken family mediation training. I have acted as counsel in 5 or fewer mediations in the last 5 years.
Approach to Supporting Clients in Mediation:
Provide information to client about the merits of his/her case and costs of litigation. Encourage client to solve the matters in mediation without sacrificing what he/she does not want to give up.
