Additional Services
Collaborative Law & Mediation
We help families and individuals find more cost-efficient and less harmful methods for developing family plans and binding agreements through collaborative law or mediation with little or no need for court involvement. Divorce and family law can have adverse effects on family relationships. Mediation assists parties in resolving conflict by neutrally facilitating a resolution to family conflict. Mediation is a useful tool during separation, divorce, custody, and other family law matters. Collaborative Lawrequires a team approach to ensure that all parties are heard and helps individuals resolve family law issues in a less destructive manner.

Every document is prepared by a licensed Maryland family law attorney using your specific facts, the correct Maryland court forms, and the jurisdiction-specific filing requirements for your county.
