Deep Knowledge of the Pros and Cons

We bring to the table a deep knowledge of the pros and cons of litigating vs. mediating. As seasoned litigators who go to court regularly and know the personalities of the family law judges, we can thoroughly advise our clients about what will likely happen if an issue is litigated, as opposed to mediated.

Case Study
Win-Win Estate Negotiation Saves Tens of Thousands of Dollars and Months of Time

In a high-net-worth divorce case, Park Family Law mediated the division of assets for a couple going through a divorce after a long-term marriage. The couple had significant assets to divide, including multiple homes and substantial financial accounts. In addition, there was a sizable spousal support issue that needed to be resolved to avoid significant income tax ramifications.

Park Family Law was able to successfully mediate all of the issues to the mutual satisfaction of the couple for under $10,000, a figure that is easily five times less than the cost of litigating the issues in court. In addition, the mediation took less than two months, as opposed to what would have taken well over one year in litigation.
