Alternative Divorce Options

There are forms of alternative dispute resolution such as mediation and collaborative divorce.

It makes no sense to allow a Judge to have complete control of your future. You know your needs and the needs of your family. Why not take control and consider an alternative to Court such as mediation or collaborative divorce? Laurie Schmitt is a trained mediator and collaborative lawyer, and believes strongly in the power of alternative dispute resolution.

We strive to resolve your legal issues in a manner which reduces the expense and emotional toll associated with a traditional divorce.

What Our Clients Are Saying

 Laurie is awesome!  She is very up front and honest, no games to be played, she was not just selling a dream just to earn a buck.  She was able to convey all the information in a clear concise manner that I could understand.  She can be blunt but not in a mean way, which I like.  If you are ever in need of a pit bull in the courtroom who will give you her honest opinion on the matter and who will fight for your case and yield results, then Laurie Schmitt is the lawyer for you.  H.J.
