Minimizing the Impact on Your Family

Divorce and other family law issues may be fraught with tension, but not every divorce needs to be emotionally devastating. An experienced divorce attorney from Berkman Bottger Newman & Schein can help you navigate your complex and delicate matter, working to minimize the stress and strain on you and your children.

For instance, in some situations, mediation or collaborative law may be the right way to resolve issues to your advantage. In other cases, negotiating – while sometimes contentious – is enough to reach a deal. And sometimes, there is no choice but to litigate and go before a judge. With our experience in all these process choices, we can help you figure out what process is best for you and how to proceed.
