Litigation or Alternative Dispute Resolution

Litigation involves contested legal proceedings.
For nearly 20 years, our attorneys have litigated hundreds of family law cases in Sonoma County and are experienced in all aspects of litigation.

In considering whether or not to proceed with litigation, due consideration should be given to the costs involved with it both financial and emotional.

Alternatives to litigation should also be considered. There are many alternatives to resolving any family law dispute outside of Court which are generally referred to as Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR).

You may have heard of some of these alternatives as “mediation,” “collaborative law,” or “arbitration.”

These methods can often be the best approach for parties to resolve their disputes and should be considered by any party with a legal dispute.
Our firm offers services in all areas of Alternative Dispute Resolution.

Whether or not one of these methods is appropriate for your case should be decided after consultation one of our experienced family law attorneys and include consideration of the facts, your personal goals and objectives.

If you are facing divorce, our divorce lawyers can provide the strong, compassionate legal support you and your family need during this difficult time. Our entire staff is involved, informed and looking forward to sharing our expertise and support.
