We do not require a retainer. Fortunately, when the Pandemic hit us in March 2020, we had already been a paperless office for many years with two cloud based case management systems. However, the Pandemic propelled us to make many improvements to our client service protocols, retainer requirements, direct calendaring, electronic exchanges and remote systems being some examples. This has allowed our firm to concentrate more on client service and less on wasteful antiquated management systems. If you entrust us with your family law matter, you'll be in excellent hands.

When It's Over,
It's time to move on

Collaborative Divorce Lawyer Santa Clara County, CA

As Santa Clara County collaborative divorce attorneys, we understand that divorce is often one of life’s most stressful experiences. But it doesn’t have to be. In fact, we’ve seen many cases of divorce where the couple agrees amicably upon agreements regarding asset division, child custody, spousal support, and more—all without having to go to court. Our amicable divorce lawyers are dedicated to working with couples to reach solutions that meet everyone’s needs. We do this by focusing on effective communication.

By facilitating discussions between spouses, we are able to help each party express their concerns and goals for the divorce while promoting understanding and compromise. Throughout our time as divorce mediation lawyers, we’ve seen that this approach can often lead to more satisfactory outcomes for both parties. It can preserve respectful relationships and, in cases involving children, avoid damaging the child’s well-being in the process.

By reviewing marital assets and debts and determining fair support arrangements, we can help couples make sure that they don’t feel cheated throughout the divorce. Our goal is to bring the couple to a place where disputes are resolved quickly and effectively, without the need to bring in a judge. As alternative dispute resolution lawyers, we’ve seen our fair share of messy divorces. They are often costly, lengthy, and heavily damaging to all involved. That’s what we want to avoid.

Court cases also sacrifice privacy, while collaborative divorce sessions are confidential, allowing couples to discuss sensitive matters openly without fear of public exposure. This can reduce stress and make the process feel safer and more controlled. Our team offers a constructive, supportive alternative to litigation. We focus on cooperation between both parties, and that allows us to help our clients move through their divorce with confidence. In many cases, this can also help each spouse maintain their familial relationships.
