Margadette M Demet, LLB
(Lawyer)
|
I have successfully practiced in the Family Law area for more than fifty years and have been a member of the Collaborative Law Council of Wisconsin almost since its inception. I have completed both initual training in the field and advanced training, and have been handling collaborative matters for some time. My clients are very happy with the collaborative process and more are becoming interested every day. I am very comfortable with the team approach involving other collaborative professionals and believe that collaboration in family matters helps the parties, their children, and their extended family to get on with their lives with the least amount of damage from the divorce process.

| General Comments |
| Ihave been involved in the collaborative law process since its inception and believe that the process is the best process available for divorcing parties. I enjoy working with other professionals in the process; even when clients decide not to pursue the collaborative process, the training makes all professionals better able to assist clients to move forward with their lives and divorce with less animosity and less damage to children |
