Beth can help to efficiently, effectively, amicably, and respectfully resolve all issues involved in ending your marriage.

  • Compassionate and respectful representation. With training in the emotional as well as the legal aspects of divorce and family law matters, Beth has the skills to help you get through what can be an overwhelming time in your life. A good listener, Beth has earned a reputation among her clients for being encouraging, supportive, and kind.

  • Mediation. Beth serves as a neutral liaison between the divorcing couple, helping them to effectively communicate and understand their settlement options as well as the legal process. We help couples negotiate the best possible settlements, while preserving amicable relationships and minimizing the conflict’s negative impact on children. We will assist you with drafting all required documents, including the initial filing, settlement agreements and all required disclosure documents. You and your spouse control the pace of the case and schedule appointments based on your preferences, not on external deadlines imposed by the court.
  • Collaborative Divorce. In Collaborative Divorce, each spouse hires their own attorney. Other professional team members may include divorce coaches, a financial professional and in some cases a child specialist. The team works with the parties to reach an agreement based on the goals and interests of each party. The Collaborative Divorce process will resolve all the issues in a divorce case by agreement without court, including child custody and visitation rights, asset distribution and spousal support, with a focus on maximizing the best possible outcome for each party based on their individual needs.
