That said, I’m also an outlier, in that I see both sides of things, and use my “EQ” (people skill set snd knowledge of what makes people tick) also. I've conducted legal education and founded a collaborative law group. My publications are read daily on Academia.

My broad experience allows me to understand and empathize with the needs and concerns of parties going through the many different family law issues of Divorce, such as Child Custody, Child and Spousal Support, Domestic Violence, property valuation and division. I know that settlement of disputed issues is less stressful and less expensive, and should always be attempted, however when cooperation and civility is not possible, my years of litigation experience, can achieve results which in turn, can lead to the voluntary resolution of disputes.
Family Law disputes are often based on anger, fear, resentment and betrayal, but I...
