Wilber Law began with a love of criminal defense. We’ve expanded to include other areas of law, but the ability to advocate for the rights we all share under the Constitution of the United States is an honor and a privelege. Without lawyers willing to take on this difficult task, police would have free reign to invade our privacies and courts would have free reign to convict people charged of crimes without a fair process. This crucial work speaks to our hearts. It is said that you can measure the moral fiber of a society by...

Before going to law school, I worked for several years at a family law firm, and saw firsthand the potential of increasing acrimony between spouses when the court system is used haphazardly. Growing up with separated parents, I think I understand the stress and frustration of a long drawn out family divorce. The courts should be a place of last resort - who wants a Judge who barely knows you to make decisions for you? That being...

With either mediation or the Collaborative process you will have control of the decisions that are made and will be firmly supported, legally and emotionally, in achieving a successful dissolution of your relationship. This not only allows but also encourages you...
