Leslie L Kimes, JD
(Lawyer)

I help divorcing couples structure their own out-of-court settlements, focusing on their common interests, as well as their individual and familial needs for the future. My approach to negotiation is collaborative, realistic, reasonable and compassionate. I believe that use of other qualified, collaboratively trained team professionals (i.e. child, parenting and financial specialists, coaches) is imperative in accomplishing the best possible outcome for the entire family.
