Effective Family Law Mediation Services
Though our family lawyers are skilled litigators offering experienced representation in court, we strive to resolve family cases through alternative dispute resolution methods such as mediation. Mediation is a simpler, cost-effective alternative to litigation that allows families to talk through their disputes and arrive at a positive resolution without a judge’s intervention.
Many cases can be resolved through mediation, and most clients find that it yields more desirable results. Our attorneys were some of the first family mediators in the States of Missouri and Kansas.
Whether you are filing for divorce or facing some other type of family matter, we urge you to contact us at (800) 574-4428 to discuss your case today.
