My Peacemaker Services

Divorce mediation is a process in which you and your spouse work together with the assistance of a third-party adviser to reach a voluntary settlement. It provides you with the opportunity to reduce the time and expense of your divorce while retaining a significant level of control over the outcome. Although you control the decisions, it is crucial you have an effective facilitator who can help you make informed decisions.

As an experienced lawyer, I understand the nuances of complex laws and other factors you will need to consider. If children are involved, your relationship will transition from spouses to co-parents. As an experienced adviser, I know how to help you and your spouse come together and focus on the question, "What do you want your family to look like after your divorce has been finalized?"

My Advocacy Services

Mediation may not be feasible nor may it be appropriate in every situation, in which case you will need to have an independent attorney on your side. As a veteran litigator, I appreciate the value of strategic and knowledgeable negotiation to resolve family law disputes. When those efforts do not produce a desirable solution, you can rely on my extensive litigation experience to pursue your goals in court.

If you have questions about your individual situation, I encourage you to call my family law office at 805-666-0980 and schedule your free initial consultation with me, attorney Edward S. Matisoff.
