Lauren Bokor, Esquire offers Collaborative Law and Mediation Services for those who seek to avoid the stress and expenses associated with traditional adversarial divorce. In addition, Lauren offers traditional litigation where Mediation and Collaborative law does not suit the parties' needs.

The ending of a marriage is an emotional, sometimes overwhelming experience. Most people who have been through a traditional adversarial divorce will tell you that the experience was emotionally stressful and prohibitively expensive. Although traditional divorce is appropriate under certain circumstances, Collaborative Law and Mediation is an effective alternative for most divorcing couples. Collaborative Law and Mediation are structured processes that avoid the unnecessary expense and emotional turmoil of divorce litigation.

In Collaborative law, your interests are being represented and advocated by your attorney without the threat of costly and lengthy litigation. Collaborative Law offers the potential for creative problem solving that arises when two lawyers work together to solve the same list of problems.

Mediation is the least costly, non-adversarial, method of obtaining a divorce with the assistance of one neutral facilitator. Mediators provide the parties with a safe atmosphere, professional leadership, and issue specific guidance through a series of discussions that focus on uncovering the pertinent issues and resolving them with less emotional turmoil and financial expense.

Only you and your spouse can know which choice meets your individual and family needs. Lauren's philosophy on divorce is that couples have choices to explore, and her role is to guide the divorcing couple through a process that works fairly for each party and considers the needs of the entire family, especially when children are involved.
