“Absolutely outstanding training! I’m a FL Supreme Court Certified Family Law Mediator and a certified financial planner specializing in divorce. For the past 6 years I’ve done pro se mediation, divorce financial planning, and dabbled in collaborative law. After spending a few days with these folks, the light came on and it suddenly all came together. Any Family Law Attorneys thinking of exploring collaborative law, and you all should be, owe it to yourselves to bring these folks to you community for a 3 day training session.
