When people ask me what I do, I tell them that I am the person you call when you know there is a better way to settle up than having a row!
As a lawyer also trained as a settlement expert, it is not an easy job to tell people what it is that I do. Everyone knows what a lawyer is and most people understand what settlement is about. But "settlement lawyer" sounds like a contradiction.
The truth is that one of the great skills I have as a lawyer is the ability to understand a problem from all sides. Add to that the additional training in settlement skills and years of experience in working with people in conflict, and you have your answer.
So, as a settlement lawyer helping two people who have a disagreement, I can see the big picture. I can help people see the problems from many angles. I can also help them figure out how their decisions fit with the way "the law" would see the problem.
The next time you or someone you know is trying to decide how to tackle a separation from their partner, or some other problem, tell them about my services. I am committed to working with people to finds ways to overcome problems and find good, long lasting solutions. It's a good call!
