Collaborative Law/Mediation

East Texas Mediation Attorneys

No one ever anticipates that the marriage will not last. It is a traumatic event when that marriage proceeds to divorce. Amongst the bitter fights and arguments that have presented themselves over time, many couples determine that fighting is not the most effective method for resolving important decisions, such as child custody or property division. The attorneys at Bain, Files, Jarrett, Bain and Harrison, P.C., couldn't agree more. We help clients resolve family law disputes amicably through collaborative law methods, such as mediation. Contact our Tyler, Texas, family law firm to learn more about collaborative law.

Resolving Complex Disputes in a Comfortable, Respectful Setting

Divorce and related family law disputes can be emotionally taxing on the entire family - especially on children. By working through decisions in an open environment, couples are often able to resolve many issues (if not all issues) in an amicable manner - thus enabling everyone to heal and move forward more efficiently. In addition, parents seeking divorce will need to maintain some form of relationship for the remainder of their children's lives. Through collaborative divorce, or mediation, couples are capable of preserving a respectful relationship.

Our board certified family law attorneys are dedicated to excellence in family law. We clearly explain clients' rights and the process before them. We help clients understand that mediation is not surrendering to your spouse/ex-spouse's needs. It is a matter of working together, each with qualified legal counsel, to come to fair resolutions which are agreeable to both parties.

If our client is not satisfied with an agreement or his/her rights are not fully protected, we aggressively pursue further negotiations until we reach an agreement which is in our client's best interest.
