Dispute Resolution: Mediation and Negotiation

In most divorce cases, negotiating a settlement or reaching one through mediation usually resolve most divorce issues. Our family law attorneys have ample experience advocating on behalf of clients whose marriages are breaking up. In some cases, however, litigation is necessary to achieve justice as perceived by our clients. Our attorneys also have the court room experience to strenuously advocate for our clients when mediation or negotiation fail.

Christopher E. Mengel, our Michigan property division lawyer, is a trained divorce mediator. Mr. Mengel has extensive experience negotiating agreements that maximize on the best possible outcomes for our clients and protect our clients' long-term needs.
