Huntington Beach, California
Dependable Experienced
Litigation is only one way to handle a divorce . And while it is necessary in some cases to obtain the results our clients want—the drawbacks are dealing with large legal bills, clogged court calendars, and the emotional toll litigated divorces sometimes extract. We protect you, inform you, and minimize your exposure and fears.
Making Decisions for Yourself
At the Law Office Of Patricia A. Hendrickson & Associates , we understand the value of mediation and collaborative law approaches to handling divorce, and we encourage our clients to explore whether these alternatives may be right for them. These choices have proven to produce satisfying outcomes for the vast majority of people who try them -- at a fraction of the cost, time, and stress involved with litigation.
Moreover, these approaches allow people to make decisions for themselves.
Mediation Services
In mediation, neither side is technically represented by an attorney. Instead, a trained mediator acts as a neutral third party to make suggestions and to help resolve differences. As a firm, we offer you the advice and counsel of an Orange County, California, divorce mediation attorney to help you through the mediation process and to provide services such as reviewing proposed agreements or settlement terms to determine if they are in your best interest. We also offer couples who are interested in mediation our services as trained attorney-mediators to facilitate the dissolution of their marriage.
Collaborative Law Services
Using a collaborative law approach to ending a marriage has two primary requirements. The first is that each person is represented by an attorney specifically trained in collaborative law. The second is that at the outset, both parties have a mutual agreement to avoid litigation. This does not mean that you cannot go to court if things do not go as you hoped; it simply means that you will give the process your best efforts. As a firm, we have lawyers on our staff that are trained in the collaborative law approach.
