Collaborative Law
A unique aspect of our family law practice is our commitment to collaborative law. One of our attorneys, Megan Hager, is active in the Central San Joaquin Valley Collaborative Law Group. Collaborative law is an increasingly popular way to practice family law; it encourages families to resolve their divorces peacefully and amicably. In collaborative law, the parties sign a mutual covenant to avoid litigation and must adhere to the collaborative contract and principles & guidelines. The attorneys are there to lead the process and ensure legal requirements are being met, but they cannot go to court on either spouse's behalf.
Collaborative law allows a divorce to proceed more quickly and less expensively with the goal of coming to a fairer result that benefits all parties involved and protects the children. Divorces obtained through collaborative law are also less likely to give rise to later post-divorce disputes.
Mediation
In addition to our commitment to collaborative law, we are experienced mediators and encourage our clients to resolve their disputes without resorting to litigation. However, in situations where litigation proves unavoidable, we are also skilled litigators and will aggressively protect our clients' rights at trial.
