Doris F Tennant, JD
(Lawyer)
|
Twelve years ago, after I was trained as a collaborative attorney, I chose to no longer represent parties in the court adversarial process. Since then I have specialized in out-of-court dispute resolution of divorce and other family matters, primarily through collaborative law, and I also serve as a mediator, arbitrator, and parent coordinator.
