Success Through Collaboration

In every case, we are always prepared to litigate a divorce, but strive to reach a negotiated settlement out of the courtroom whenever possible.

Alternative resolution strategies, such as mediation or arbitration, offer a much more amicable method of reaching a collaborative agreement. Alternative resolution allows both spouses more control in decision-making, increases privacy, and resolves impasses less contentiously for a quicker resolution and final divorce agreement.

TMO Law LLC has a successful track record of resolving divorces through alternative resolution methods and litigating in county court. We will work tirelessly to achieve a fair and equitable settlement for every client.

Deciding to leave an abusive partner is one of the most difficult decisions for survivors of domestic violence. We will help. You need an advocate and support to keep you protected immediately and throughout divorce proceedings.
