Are you stuck in family conflict?

Perhaps you are facing divorce, have a child custody dispute, or are anxious about the terms of your marriage. The future is uncertain, and you feel unsettled. You don’t want to litigate in Court. You simply want to know your rights, and you need someone you can trust to guide you towards resolution of the matter.

My mission is to help my clients collaboratively work through family conflict towards a resolution that is beneficial to all parties. Litigating in Court can leave the parties feeling helpless and defeated. My goal is to facilitate a constructive settlement process where my clients feel empowered.

“It is a challenge leaving a marriage with a desire to do so consciously and gracefully. I am grateful to Jenna who guided me through this process. She was knowledgeable, attentive, and thoughtful and she helped me balance the ups and downs. There were several times my ex-husband almost walked away from the settlement after weeks of negotiations. Jenna was kind and supportive and helped me keep on track and make clear choices. Each day I said to myself how I am so grateful I am to have her as my lawyer.” - S.K.

WHAT I CAN HELP YOU WITH

The decision to end a marriage can be very stressful. However, there are ways to minimize additional stress that often accompanies the legal process for separation or divorce. So long as both parties are willing to collaborate, working with a settlement-minded attorney and/or mediator will provide them a confidential, efficient, cost-effective means to resolve these issues in a manner that ensures the well-being of each party individually and their family as a whole.

When children are involved, the process for resolving family conflict can be as important as the ultimate outcome. Collaborating on child custody schedules and parenting plans in mediation or with collaborative attorneys allows the parties to propose peaceful solutions together so they can prioritize the children's best interests. In the process of working together, the parties build a foundation for a positive co-parenting relationship going forward.

*Premarital and Post-Marital Agreements*

Whether or not they realize it, couples consent to the default laws for divorce when they get married without a premarital agreement. Entering into this kind of agreement before marriage, or negotiating one during marriage, allows parties to have a choice in what happens in the event their marriage ends. Working with a collaboratively-trained attorney or even mediating a pre/postnuptial agreement allows couples to make conscious and informed decisions together that will provide them with clarity and predictability for the future.

“Jenna was an excellent guide and advocate through an emotionally difficult legal experience. As my consulting attorney during mediation, she looked after my best interests while always acknowledging the sensitivity of the process. I am grateful for her assertiveness, intelligence, professionalism, and kindness. Jenna absolutely earned my trust and is highly, highly recommended.” - M.H.
