You have probably come here because you are facing the possibility or the reality of divorce. For most of us this is one of the most upsetting, important, potentially dangerous, difficult and demanding experiences in our lives. My practice is devoted exclusively to helping individuals, couples and families to negotiate these shoals smoothly and constructively, so that you emerge from the process with your family and your dignity intact and without economic or emotional destruction.
It used to be almost inevitable that the divorce process would force people into court and into the adversarial processes that make this life passage unbearably costly, personally traumatic and damaging to parents, children and relationships. Today it has been well established by the real life experiences of thousands of families and couples that there are two highly effective alternatives that are available to you - Mediation and Collaborative Practice.
As a family lawyer in Ventura County since 1973 and a State Bar Of California Certified Family Law Specialist since 1980 who has litigated hundreds of highly contested cases, I have seen first hand of the damage that the adversarial court system inflicts. And, for most of my career - until almost the end of the 20th Century - there were no practical alternatives. Now, whenever a divorcing couple wants to avoid the cataclysm of divorce, they can retain highly capable specially trained divorce professionals and resolve all of their disputes while keeping their family, personal and economic dignity intact and in a positive, constructive, dignified atmosphere.
