Thank you for the valuable advice.
I've already implemented most of your suggestions and feel a bit more secure. Your most helpful suggestion was to look ahead to what I would like to do in a few years. We all get so concerned about planning for our children's needs...we forget to plan ahead for ourselves. |

You benefited and helped .... my former spouse... and I with a list of boundaries, guidance, legal options as to ‘how to get there’ in an amicable way. First and foremost our intention was keeping the kids as a main priority thru the whole process, which was in our case. |

One of the most important qualities that I was looking for in an attorney and that I found in you was someone who was easy to talk with and someone that explained the whole divorce process in terms that I understood. At first the whole process seemed so overwhelming but when taken piece by piece it seemed more manageable and a little less overwhelming. |

There were a lot of things I thought you did well, but if I had to distill everything down to a single concept I think the aggregate benefit was that you were able to balance collaboration and advocacy. Meeting my needs while still moving a painful but inevitable process forward at all possible speed. |

I feel by coming up with our own agreement in the collaborative process, it has helped us maintain civility toward each other now that the divorce is final. It was what we agreed to not what a judge decided for us. |
