We’re Different

We help women through family issues. We specialize in using an out of court process called Collaborative Law. If Collaborative Divorce, Collaborative Mediation™ and Mediation are not the right path for you or your family, our experienced and compassionate litigators will guide you through the court process. We do this while focusing on your goals and providing you the support that you need.

We’re Who You Need

“I am absolutely grateful that Jodie was my lawyer for our collaborative divorce. My ex even pointed out how she was always on the ball, in contrast to his experience. Jodie exudes an absolute level of integrity and was committed to the collaborative efforts throughout- which is important to have as a guiding influence with all the emotions of a divorce. We can now look back and say that we are proud of the way we treated each other and proud of our efforts to do what was right and best for our son. Her staff is equally accountable and responsive with all needs (and updates) during the process.

Jodie earned my complete trust early on, which helped relieve my stress since I knew she was exceedingly competent and had our best interests at heart.

Obviously, I am very grateful for Jodie and the team and enthusiastically recommend them without hesitation!”
