Mediation
Helping Families Come to Effective Family Law Solutions
At Pines Laurent, LLP, in California, each of our compassionate female lawyers have
more than 15 years of family law experience. More often than not, family law disputes
are best resolved through mediation or collaborative law.
We know the pain that comes with family law disputes. We also know how to guide clients through the mediation or collaborative law process to minimize that pain and reach agreements that fit their unique needs. In cases where cost is a factor, or when special needs children are involved, alternatives to extended litigation benefit those most affected.
Benefits of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR)
Traditional litigation is sometimes necessary, but there are many reasons why mediation and collaborative law are in our clients' best interests:
- Traditional litigation is expensive and time-
consuming. Mediation and collaborative law offer less costly, more efficient options for families. - Trials are emotionally draining for everyone involved. ADR allows you to work together to set aside the emotional struggles as much as possible and reach cooperative agreements between the parties involved. Mediation and collaborative law are important options when children are involved, as in child custody disputes.
- Most importantly, ADR offers opportunities for families to reach solutions that work for them. If you bring a divorce or child custody dispute to trial, the judge only has a few options. If you work with the other party through mediation or collaborative law, you can address both of your unique needs to reach a solution that is in your and your family's best interests.
Come to a Cooperative Solution
We focus our practice on helping families reach efficient solutions that truly meet
the needs of both themselves and their family. Call 818-
