Jack H Emmott, III,
(Lawyer/Mediator)

The primary focus of my calling to practice family law is to bring to bear what is needed to truly serve those caught in the emotional underbrush of divorce. Having litigated for over 30 years, I have learned the shortcomings of the adversarial process. With the advent of the collaborative process, I can now better serve divorcing parties to divorce as friends, to share children instead of dividing them, to conserve more of their financial resources, and to more quickly heal the brokenness caused by divorce.
