Domestic Diversions

At Grand Rapids Collaborative Divorce I posted an excerpt from Pauline Tesler–via the ABA–highlighting the movement away from litigation toward Collaborative Law. In it, Pauline Tesler notes that switching to a collaborative law practice is:
Challenging since it”involves mastering knowledge and skills that were not taught to us in law school.”
Rewarding since “it is common for clients who reach agreements to express profound gratitude for the work done by both lawyers.”
Prudent since “even clients who can afford [full blown litigation] do not want it.”
Socially Useful since we lessen “the negative impact highly conflicted divorce proceedings can have on all parties . . . .”
