A structured, neutral process for settling parenting, support and property questions without handing the decision to a judge.
The negotiated document that settles property, support and parenting after a separation — drafted so it holds up when someone tests it later.
Sometimes called a prenup. Sets out what happens to property and support if the marriage ends, before anyone is upset enough to fight about it.

Read moreHow we work
No file gets handed down a chain of juniors. The person who sits across from you at the consultation is the person who drafts your agreement and stands up at your hearing.
We communicate on the essential issues as they happen, in plain language. You should never have to wonder what is going on with your own matter.
Sometimes that road runs through a courtroom. Often it doesn't. We'll tell you honestly which one you're looking at before you spend money finding out the hard way.
Family mediation
As a family law mediator, I am able to incorporate my two decades of court experience into a mediation process that will allow you to take hold of your own destiny — and permit a creative solution that courts cannot offer. Jim Pietrangelo
Litigation is expensive, slow, and it hands your family's future to a stranger in a robe. Mediation is the alternative Jim found after twenty years of watching the other way play out.
