Our online course, Divorce 101, offers a free 20-minute Strategy Session with Jennifer when you successfully complete the course. 

Collaborative Legal Process

For those who prefer full-scope style representation and who wish to keep their divorce private, and out of the courtroom, the Collaboarative process offers a solution that meets everyone's needs, including and especially your child's. Here, both parties and their separate, independent attorneys sign a "participation agreement" that each agrees to use this voluntary, non-litigation process. If a case has already been filed, pending litigation may be stayed pending outcome of the Collobarative proceeding.  

Unbundled Legal Services

Unbundled legal services can help litigants who are already part of a court proceeding. They are also useful to help clients, who are representing themselves, perform specific tasks or services, such as legal advice, or representation in court for a limited scope of the case. The client is responsible for handling their own case strategy and other aspects of the case on their own. Unbundled legal services are also known as limited scope representation and discrete task representation. This approach to legal services can make getting legal help more affordable and accessible for clients who may not be able to afford a full-service attorney or who prefer to handle some aspects of the case themselves.  

Done-for-You Legal Services

Our Done-For-You legal services is one of our unbundled legal service offerings. This service works best for those who have already reached a general agreement with their spouse, but want help creating and completing the necessary paperwork, providing legal advice and support, and filing the approved and completed paperwork with the court. Because we can only help one side to a dispute, the other party should find his/her/their own independent, unbundled or collaboratively-trained attorney for advice prior to signing documents prepared by an opposing party.
