| General Comments |
| My entire legal career has been devoted to helping people get through the quagmire of a divorce or other family law litigation. Finally I had enough of watching people tear their spouses, their kids and ultimately themselves apart in the divorce wars. Collaborative law offers a better way. The clients control their future. The kids benefit from having families that may be different in form, but at least there is peace and civility and a hopeful future. |
