Holistic Legal Advocacy

 

Revives the ancient tradition of employing law/justice for the purposes of healing, not fighting.  I counsel in numerous areas of the law (from tenant evictions to marital dissolution, environmental protection to business to criminal defense) by partnering with clients to achieve efficient issue resolution, employing a variety of mediation and resolution techniques, and assisting/empowering clients to successfully maneuver within the legal system.

 

Critical to counseling my clients is understanding their unique, holistic circumstances/experience.  Only after we clearly define the client's specific needs can we chart a course for issue resolution.  In some rare instances litigation may be necessary and what the client needs; however, I make every effort to resolve legal issues outside court as I have seen the damaging effects this path inflicts.  In the event that litigation is necessary, I assist clients in finding litigators, as litigation is no longer part of my practice. 

 

In my experience, the far majority of legal cases can be resolved before ever filing a complaint.  Together, we can achieve a result for your legal issue that leaves all parties on the way to spiritual healing, realizing they have engaged in a positive process.
