Family mediation offers many advantages:
* It helps people understand the risks and benefits of what they are doing.
* It helps parents understand the consequences of the seeds they are planting in their children.
* It helps people to understand how their positions might backfire on them if they go to court.
* It helps people of diverse ethnic, cultural, or religious backgrounds to understand how their ideas might clash with the U.S. legal system.
California is a trendsetter in the field of family law. American no-fault divorce was actually pioneered in Alameda County. But divorce in California is so cut and dry it doesn't really assist in the healing process that should take place after a divorce, to help people move on with their lives.

We understand the importance of communication. We appreciate the unique multi-cultural challenges faced by many families in our wonderfully diverse region. We work hard to help our clients make decisions that are well informed. And we work equally hard to make sure they understand the consequences of their decisions.
