The mediator is well informed of how the law pertains to your situation, so they can advise both parties in an equal manner.  The mediator does not act as a judge, nor do they impose decisions on the parties. Instead, all decision-making remains in the hands of the parties themselves. The mediator guides the process based upon the concerned parties’ interests.

Collaborative Law

In addition to Litigation and Mediation Services, The Law Office of Nora Daniels also engages in Collaborative Law as a form of Alternate Dispute Resolution. “Collaborative Law” also known as “Collaborative Practice”, is an effective interest-based legal approach, which is gaining momentum nationwide and internationally. It pairs legal advocacy with the best features of mediation.

Collaborative practice implements a cooperative (rather than combative) approach to problem-solving in an atmosphere free of impending litigation demands. It is applicable in business, employment, probate and family law matters, and many more.

The collaborative law approach is tailored for parties who do not wish to rely on a court-imposed resolution of their dispute. Instead, they seek to eliminate the negative economic, social, and emotional consequences of protracted litigation.

During the Collaborative process, each party is represented by an experienced attorney advocating for their interests. Additionally, in collaborative cases, the attorneys and their clients often work with other experienced professionals, accountants, financial specialists, human resource consultants, mental health professionals, coaches, and more.

Collaborative Approach for
Civil & Family Matters

In civil matters and family law matters, successful collaboration often results in the added benefit of having the parties establish a reasonably amicable professional or familial relationship as they move forward from the process and continue with their business and personal matters.

When the parties choose to use the collaborative approach, they agree to suspend litigation temporarily. In collaborative law, the parties and their legal counsel commit to writing that they will act in good faith and endeavor to settle the issues in dispute, without the Court's intervention, until a final settlement is reached.

As the issues between the parties are addressed in a confidential environment, their respective attorneys work cooperatively to draft and assist in the effectuation of all documents and filings required to enforce the parties’ settlement/agreement.

Affordable

Collaborative law is generally less costly and less time-consuming than litigation, and it is less anxiety-producing for clients than the prospect of active litigation and court hearings/appearances. The parties and their attorneys control the scheduling of meetings and exchange relevant documents and information, not the Court.

During the collaborative process, parties focus on their interests, and the parties to the dispute are encouraged to be an active and vital part of each step of the process.
