Services
Collaborative Divorce
Our collaborative divorce process provides a respectful alternative to traditional litigation. Specially trained attorneys and interdisciplinary professionals help couples negotiate settlements while preserving family relationships. This approach focuses on open communication and tailored solutions for complex issues like child custody, property division, and spousal support. Clients maintain control over decisions while benefiting from expert guidance.
Mediation Services
We facilitate constructive mediation sessions to resolve divorce-related disputes outside court. Neutral mediators help couples reach mutually beneficial agreements on custody arrangements, financial matters, and parenting plans. This cost-effective process promotes cooperation while protecting both parties' interests through legally sound solutions tailored to family-specific circumstances.
Limited Scope Representation
Our limited scope services offer flexible legal support for specific tasks like document review, settlement agreement drafting, or court preparation. Clients receive expert guidance without full representation, making legal assistance more accessible while maintaining procedural compliance and protecting their rights throughout the divorce process.
Post-Divorce Coaching
We provide specialized coaching to help individuals navigate post-divorce challenges including co-parenting dynamics, financial adjustments, and personal reinvention. Our certified coaches address emotional well-being and practical concerns, supporting clients in establishing new routines, rebuilding confidence, and creating positive futures after divorce through structured goal-setting and accountability.
Child Custody Guidance
Our child-focused approach develops comprehensive custody arrangements that prioritize children's stability and well-being. We help parents create detailed parenting time schedules, decision-making frameworks, and communication strategies that adapt to evolving family needs while ensuring compliance with Michigan's custody laws and court requirements.

Jessica is a fantastic family law lawyer. Anytime someone asks for a referral for an aggressive family law attorney I refer them to Jessica. I have seen her in action and she is without a doubt one of the best!
