Description of Practice
Headquartered in the Seattle area and serving clients remotely across the US, Listen to Understand LLP specializes in parenting plan modifications and divorce mediation and also has experience mediating conflicts within families.
We recognize that the best solutions come from the people involved in the situation. Courts are not able to take the time to understand what is important to you and they are limited by the letter of the law. We help parties understand what is truly important to each other and craft solutions that meet everyones needs.

Approach
I believe the best solutions come from the people involved in the situation. I function as the street signs and the guardrails to keep you on the road to a solution, but you control the steering wheel, the gas pedal, and the brakes.
I focus on family mediations because 99.99% of people have good intentions and common interests can almost always be found.
Fees
My fees are competitive and I will consider your situation if you ask me to modify my fees.
