Mediation services to help resolve civil personal injury cases and community property disputes are available. In mediation a neutral person helps the parties to resolve their case through a cooperative settlement agreement. If you are going through a Louisiana divorce or a Texas divorce you may want to try mediation to resolve your case. Team mediation as originated by David C. Hesser can help resolve civil cases where a neutral mediator is assisted by a mental health professional. Collaborative divorce(TM) representation is available to help resolve family law cases with a team of professionals. Collaborative divorce is a new method of obtaining a divorce, wherein the parties are assisted by attorneys, collaborative divorce coaches, a child specialist and a financial specialist. This process helps the parties involved to begin rebuilding their lives without submitting their dispute to the court, while at the same time allowing the parties to access their needs and their children's needs in an amicable way.  The Collaborative Divorce model follows the same  philosophy we attempt to use to amicably settle your case before trial.  However, some cases require trials since it takes an effort by both parties to settle the case.
