The collaborative process is the best way to manage any family problem which has legal aspects. The beauty of collaborative work is that all the time, expense, and energy is focused on stabilizing the situation and then developing a forward looking plan for the parties.

I have practiced law in Anchorage for 30 years, and throughout that period, I have worked to develop skills to resolve conflict without litigation. My experience includes commercial, employment, administrative, family law, probate and guardianships, adoptions, child advocacy and juvenile delinquency. I mediate in these and other areas, and offer collaborative legal representation in divorce and separation.

Although I represent litigants in family and other matters, I strongly recommend that separating or divorcing couples consider the collaborative approach as the most dependable way to achieve a fair resolution and a working plan for the future. It is sometimes less expensive, and it is ALWAYS less damaging and more efficient and productive than litigation.
