Review / Consulting Attorney
We can serve as your review / consulting attorney in a variety of matters.
While mediation is a wonderful process choice for solving various family matters, it is often beneficial to consult with a mediation-friendly lawyer along the way. We will help you assess your situation, explain the law as it pertains to you, and help you make informed decisions, serving as your partner as you go through the mediation process.
Some people wish to consult with lawyers once they have completed the mediation, as one of the last steps in the process. Since you may not have sought counsel earlier, having the agreement reviewed prior to signing is a good idea, and most mediators recommend it. We will review your agreement, making sure that is fair and lawful and that you understand all of its ramifications.
Any contract or agreement to which you are a party that has been prepared by someone else's lawyer should be reviewed by an advocate on your behalf before signing, e.g. prenuptial agreements, divorce stipulations.
At any stage in a legal process that is complex or new to you, you may benefit from the objectivity and experience that a family lawyer can provide. Call us for a consultation.
