We believe that a constructive approach to cases, clients, lawyers, opposing spouses in divorce cases and other people best serves our clients. We represent a variety of people who want to help themselves, who want to be constructive about their cases. We help people grow in their lives and make divorce a growing and therapeutic experience for clients. We work toward our clients being better friends with their spouses at the end of the divorce process than they were at the beginning. We believe that negotiated resolutions almost always are better for clients than court ordered resolutions.
Parties maintain more involvement and control over the personal, family and financial destinies.
Negotiated resolutions provide greater opportunity for well considered resolutions rather than running the risks inherent in court ordered resolutions and their post-divorce ramifications. We will continue doing substantial mediation. We try cases in court when it is in the interest of our client, and it is our client's desire to do so. James J. Gross , managing partner, has been in practice in the areas of family and business law and civil litigation for over 20 years. He was formerly in-house counsel to Satellite Business Systems, and an attorney with the Federal Communications Commission.
