Los Angeles Divorce Mediation Attorney
Explore Divorce Mediation Before Litigation in Los Angeles
If the divorcing parties are both reasonable in their expectations in resolving their family law issue, and if they don’t think involving lawyers early on would be an efficient and cost-effective way of going about their divorce, mediation might be the way to go. Mediation can be less costly than litigation for resolving your family law issue.
In some situations, involving the wrong type of lawyers for either side can turn the case into a circus, costing the parties unnecessary legal fees times two (legal fees for each party). Remember, legal fees for both parties can rapidly escalate in litigation. Those fees will be coming out of the same pie.

- Received in evidence,
- Compelled in discovery, or
