Worth reading. Better yet - worth staying home!

We are all living in a difficult time. Stay at home Orders are confusing parents who have children subject to Court Orders. Please know that your children need both parents in such frightening times and the current stay at home orders all hold custody exchanges as an exception, recognizing the importance of maintaining as much continuity and support as possible for children. This is a time to work together, Mom and Dad, and not pull in opposite directions. If you need help to figure things out, our lawyers with heart are here to help you through this, and can immediately set up a face to face electronic forum to help you through your disputed issues while the courts are closed and thereafter.

Here's a review from a very happy client! From Eric O.: "I wanted to express sincere gratitude for my partnership with Maribeth and the option of collaborative divorce. My ex and I made every effort to keep our marriage together, however, in the end we decided that it would be best if we parted ways in our day to day lives. When making the decision to split up, we found the option for collaborative divorce. I retained Maribeth as my representation through the collaborative d...ivorce process. First, she has a wealth of knowledge, experience, and most importantly empathy. It's an emotional time and she was very good with keeping me informed and made me feel comfortable with the process. Her team kept communication lines open and shared next steps often and I always knew where we were in the process. During our actual session with my ex and her lawyer, both sides did a great job communicating and moving us through the negotiations and settlements. I could not be more pleased with the Collaborative Divorce process and I want to personally recommend Maribeth and her team to support any person choosing this route for divorce. While there are horror stories and ugly divorces, I feel as if this process kept things very civil and in the end, this was the best for me, my ex, and most importantly our kids." See more

OUR VISION We are a group of lawyers with heart and we are passionate about what we do. We use rational problem solving to find solutions, instead of erecting barriers to resolving conflicts. Our techniques empower our clients as we explore creative options in a cooperative environment. We encourage recognition and acknowledgement of each party's viewpoint, so that an amicable resolution can be reached and there is hope for the future for all involved. ... OUR MISSION Our mission is to offer legal services that will keep our clients out of court. We focus on resolving disputes amicably even under difficult circumstances.

We treat our clients as equal partners, and inform them of their choices throughout the process. We make sure that our clients have a voice and that their voice is heard. OUR VALUES We are peacemakers, not litigators. We advocate for our clients, but don't fight just for the sake of fighting. We know that the court system can be toxic for families and causes people to be adversarial instead of trying to find common ground. We believe that families should not be torn apart by divorce and custody matters, but can instead learn to evolve into new and different family structures with healthy co-existing futures. We strive for win-win solutions instead of pitting one party against the other.
