We Do It Differently

We have spent more than 25 years developing ways to improve the delivery of legal services for families. As a result, we are leaders in the field and offer these innovative solutions:

  • Our mediation program allows you to get separated in as little as three weeks and divorced shortly thereafter
  • We provide flat fee services and “legal coaching” for those who would like to represent themselves. We do it differently.
  • And, our most popular innovation in 25 years: we provide pay-as-you-go services to manage your legal budget. No retainer required!
