Our firm offers a range of legal services to meet the needs of anyone who is involved in a divorce, separation, or Family Court matter. Marilyn has over 30 years of experience in divorce, family law and mediation. She will analyze your situation and discuss how we can best assist you to achieve your goals. After we have explored possible options, we will decide together how to proceed in order to get the results you want.

We encourage our clients to do as much as they can on their own in order to minimize legal fees. Some matters, such as uncontested

  divorces, are billed at a flat rate so that you will know exactly what your total cost will be. Marilyn’s negotiating skills result in settlement of an overwhelming majority of cases.

Our policy is to send drafts of correspondence to our clients prior to sending it to opposing attorneys so that you can make sure that we fully understood what you asked us to communicate on your behalf. We return our telephone calls.

REVOLUTIONARY NEW CONCEPT IN MEDIATION SERVICES - MEDIATION WITHOUT WALLS
(NO OFFICE VISITS)

Marilyn does not have an office for face-to-face meetings. Communication with clients and mediation sessions are conducted exclusively by telephone. This process has been used successfully since January 2009.

Each participant finds a convenient private place (each in a separate location). Marilyn places a call to each party and conducts a conference call mediation session. Documents are emailed as attachments or sent by regular mail. Clients save the time and money they would otherwise expend in driving to an office.

Couples often find that they can keep a conference call appointment during the working day that would be impossible if an office visit was required. The process is especially helpful when parties are separated geographically, for example when one person has already moved out of state, or is overseas on a military assignment.
