Going to court means leaving decisions about your life in the hands of someone who doesn't know you. Once in court, the system takes over. And, going to court can be expensive.

You know what is best for you. I can help you get there in a way that isn't demeaning. I can help you find resolution while the choices stay in your hands.

Remember, the one you're in conflict with is not always your adversary. He or she can be your partner in resolving this conflict.
