    The Compassionate Divorce Attorney

    About

    Foundations Family Law & Mediation Center was created to be an intentionally different family law firm. Instead of creating more drama, we resolve it. Because at the end of the day, that’s what’s best for you and your family.

    Divorce, custody, and other legal issues connected to the family are inherently stressful and emotional because the issues in dispute are so personal and high stakes. Traditional litigation does no favors to ease these negative effects on family members. It creates a dynamic of You versus Me. There’s a winner and a loser– and where are the children considered in this equation?

    We believe there is a simpler and better way to resolve family law conflicts. Instead of increasing conflict through traditional litigation methods, we prioritize using mediation and strategic attorney negotiations to amicably disentangle family law issues and optimize results for our clients. And the results have been nothing short of stellar for the families that we work with.

    If this aligns with what you are looking for in a family law attorney or mediator, we invite you to connect with us to learn more about the possibilities for your personal circumstances.
