TESTIMONIAL:
“As a practicing divorce attorney in New York, primarily focusing on the Collaborative process, I am in awe of the information in this book. From the discussion of the fallout due to career dissatisfaction of litigation family law attorneys to the mediation and Collaborative alternatives, this book spans such a wide range of options on how we professionals can do better. And in doing better by the clients, who entrust us with their matters, we are doing better for ourselves and for the overall profession. Particularly interesting to me is that despite the numerous client benefits associated with mediation or Collaborative divorce, the tangible benefits for practitioners are real and are clearly articulated in this book. Whether it is increased profits, lower malpractice exposure or the internal satisfaction of providing support systems for families, we professionals can benefit from the alternatives to litigation in ways we may not have considered. This book takes a deep dive into these benefits, and I strongly believe this should be a required read by all professionals in the family law arena.”
