Approximately 95% of all divorce cases end in a negotiated agreement; less than 5% go to trial. Therefore, one of the reasons you may choose to hire an attorney is to help you with the negotiation. Many of our divorce cases are handled within a specific process, such as mediation (negotiation with the assistance of a neutral person) or Collaborative Law (negotiation with attorneys who are hired for settlement only). However, we do handle a few cases that do not fall into either of those categories, which we describe simply as “Negotiated Divorces.”
When we work with you in a Negotiated Divorce, there can be a wide variety of scenarios:
- Negotiation with attorney help without court supervision
- Mediation assistance
- With Court assistance
