Firm philosophy and
approach
The One-Fee Divorce Alternative is a streamlined approach designed to simplify and demystify
the divorce process. This model offers a unique arrangement where one lawyer represents both
parties in an amicable divorce, under the premise that both individuals are committed to
resolving their differences without adversarial litigation. This method is particularly suited for
couples who are in agreement on most aspects of their separation and are seeking a
cost-effective, efficient resolution.
The primary benefits of One-Fee Divorce include:
Cost-Effectiveness
By sharing one attorney, the parties can significantly reduce their legal fees. The flat fee structure ensures there are no surprises in terms of costs, making
financial planning around the divorce process more predictable and manageable.
Simplicity
The process is less complex than traditional contested divorces. Since both
parties are working with the same attorney, there is a singular point of communication,
which streamlines the decision-making process and reduces the potential for
miscommunication and conflict.
Reduced Conflict
This approach fosters a cooperative rather than adversarial
relationship between parties. It encourages open communication and agreement, which
can be particularly beneficial when there are children involved, as it promotes a healthier
post-divorce family dynamic.
Efficiency
The timeline for a One-Lawyer, One-Fee Divorce can be much shorter than
traditional divorce proceedings. Without the need for lengthy litigation or multiple
attorneys negotiating back and forth, decisions can be reached and finalized more
quickly.
Transparency
With one lawyer handling all aspects of the divorce, both parties have a
clear and consistent understanding of the legal process and the terms of the divorce
agreement. This transparency helps build trust and facilitates a smoother resolution
