I have over a quarter century of experience as a lawyer, dealing with family law issues as well as estate and business issues. I believe that with proper assistance, people can usually do a better job of resolving their issues than the courts can, and at a far lower cost. The parties to a dispute have insights into their priorities and circumstances that the litigation process simply cannot recognize, and as a result, they should be able to arrive at a resolution that is much more customized to them than what a court could achieve.
