“HAPPY CLIENTS – HAPPY ATTORNEYS:

HOW TO BEST SERVE FAMILY LAW PARTIES USING ADR”

This CLE is a “must-see” for family law attorneys and ADR professionals alike.

Few family law clients can afford contentious litigation that culminates in trial.  Those who go to trial are often unhappy with at least a portion of the ruling and many conclude litigation with unpaid attorney’s fees.  Also, litigation can further strain and destroy family relationships that are already in crisis.  Such results are bad for clients and bad for attorneys.

The panel will discuss different ways, including some overlooked ways, to use ADR to benefit clients, attorneys and ADR practitioners. The discussion will include when and how to use family law masters, arbitration, med-arb and other processes to end those difficult cases to the satisfaction of all involved.

PANEL:
 

ROBERT A. BUDOFF (Caldwell, Padish & Wells PLLC), JOY BORUM (Family Mediation Center), DAVID L. ROSE (Sacks Tierney P.A.) and ALONA M. GOTTFRIED (Simmons & Gottfried, PLLC)

May provide up to one hour of ethics credit.

SPACE IS LIMITED.  PLEASE RSVP by Monday, April 9, 2012.
