I have been a family lawyer for over 25 years allowing me to see the toll that divorce, custody disputes, and overall conflict can take on families. I have experience in every aspect of the family law system, and an ability to understand and account for the needs of different parties in complex family dynamics. I became a mediator, parent coordinator, and divorce coach in order to help families in a less conflict driven and more amicable way. It is really rewarding to help parents work together in a less contentious way. Divorce is never easy, but helping a family make it a little less painful is very important to me.

Research shows that it is not divorce that harms children; it is the stress and conflict. Mediation can create an atmosphere that enables families to create their own solutions and to remain focused and in control of their situations. I am skilled in helping families approach crises respectfully which I believe helps relationships regardless of the outcome.

I am approachable, a quick and creative thinker, and fully committed to helping families. You can read more about me here https://www.dfkfamilylaw.com
