Mediation

Greenwich, Connecticut Mediation Attorney

It is unfortunate for individuals going through a divorce that lawyers, the courts, and well-meaning friends focus on the more adversarial aspects. Couples are advised to secure a lawyer without considering the option of working together to settle matters.

At the Law Office of Douglas J. Wells in Greenwich, Connecticut, I provide mediation and collaborative services to couples that wish not only to save money in attorney’s fees, but also save themselves and their children from the stress and posturings involved in litigation. Contact me today to find out how I can assist you in finding a more amicable means of surviving your divorce.

Mediation

The success of any mediation rests upon its participants. When both parties agree to work out their differences peacefully, a great deal can be accomplished to the satisfaction of both parties. Instead of incurring the costs of hiring two lawyers to negotiate a settlement, a couple can save money by securing only one – a mediator who provides an unbiased legal opinion and who works to help people settle matters related to property division, custody, and support. At the Law Office of Douglas J. Wells, I provide a comfortable environment in which to reach a mutually beneficial agreement.

A Collaborative Approach

Sometimes matters of complexity arise that require more assistance. As a mediator, I work with specialists in various specialties who provide their expertise to the divorce mediation process. Pension valuators, real estate appraisers, and accountants can be jointly retained to assist with financial matters, and property valuation and distribution issues, and to accomplish settlement while minimizing tax consequences.

I have assisted numerous clients who have chosen mediation and collaboration to settle their divorce matters—clients who have emerged more satisfied for their personal investment in the process, and whose children have been protected from the specter of warring parents.

Contact the Law Office of Douglas J. Wells today if you and your spouse wish to discuss this option.
