BACKGROUND

Mediation Approach

As both a Family Law Lawyer and Mediator, Penny’s mediation approach is informed and thorough while also being caring and creative. Family Law Mediation is a process of assisted negotiations leading to agreement. It is an effective alternative to going to court where a judge makes the decision for you. Mediation is most effective when it is used early in the dispute before you incur the expenses of litigation. Mediation is also a good choice for those who have begun litigation and want a better process.
