Legal Services That Meet Your Goals

Provided from a place of empathy and advocacy.

We help clients get the best possible outcome in a divorce, custody, or guardianship.

There are many paths to get to your goal, and we can guide you through all of them. We can provide advice while you take the driver’s seat, mediate challenges that get in the way of a solution, or represent you in either a Collaborative process or in Court.

Our clients receive legal advice about divorce, custody, and guardianship. Sometimes clients are getting ready to pursue a divorce, have questions about an out-of-court custody arrangement, or file the paperwork on their own, and they hire us to answer their questions along the way. We frequently advise a person who is engaging in mediation with a mediator. 

If your case is already in court, or you know mediation is not right for you, then you need a litigator who can advocate for you in the courtroom. It’s important to hire an attorney right from the start, to make sure that you’re setting your case up for success. 

If you’re not sure mediation is a good fit and you want to avoid litigation, consider Collaborative Law. Collaborative Law combines the communal problem-solving of mediation with the advocacy of litigation, without the possible nastiness of litigation. Everyone has a lawyer by their sides and a third party, a neutral mediator, guides the discussion through the conflicts and towards resolution. 

More about Collaborative Law

 

A mediator is a neutral third party that helps people resolve their conflicts. If people can resolve their conflict before they get to court, they are more likely to have an outcome that meets their goals, than if they leave it to the courts to decide. As a family lawyer, Attorney Neale offers a current view of how courts handle certain common issues and drafts Separation Agreements if the parties choose. We offer flat rate fees for mediation and free consultations so that both parties can understand if this is the right process for their situation. 

More about Mediation

"Rebecca expertly guided me through the divorce process with dedication and compassion. As a highly skilled negotiator, she was able to strategize for the best possible outcome while considering multiple scenarios. Rebecca was professional, responsive and thoughtful. I was more than grateful to have her in my corner!"

“Rebecca helped me through the divorce process in a professional yet empathetic manner. She helped me figure out what was most important to me and what I could compromise on to keep the process moving. I felt like she was the person I could rely on and trust during one of the hardest things I have ever done. I consulted with a few attorneys before I chose to hire Rebecca. I would recommend her very highly."
Client
“My husband and I needed our first estate plan. Ms. Neale and her staff made the process easy and as painless as something like this could be. Our questions were answered fairly quickly and there was a procedure in place to sign everything as safely as possible. We would recommend her!”
