Lauren Bokor, Esquire brings to you her extensive experience in family law to help you resolve your marital issues effectively. Although Lauren helps clients in the traditional court setting, Lauren offers Collaborative Law and Mediation Services for those who seek to avoid the stress and expenses associated with traditional adversarial divorce.

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 emerging, effective alternative for most divorcing couples. Collaborative Law and Mediation are structured processes that avoid the unnecessary expense and emotional turmoil of divorce litigation.

Lauren's philosophy on couples facing divorce is that you have choices to explore. Only you and your spouse can know which choice meets your individual and family needs. Lauren's goal is to assist you in whatever choice works for you and your family and to help you move on with your life. In Collaborative law, your interests are being represented and advocated by your attorney without the treat of costly and lenghty 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, leadership, and guidance to help them have a series of discussions that focus on uncovering the pertinent issues and resolving them with less emotional turmoil and financial expense.

Although Lauren believes that Collaborative law and Mediation are the best alternatives for most divorcing couples, traditional divorce, where each party is represented by counsel and the court’s intervention is anticipated, is an appropriate alternative under certain circumstances. Collaborative law and Mediation however, offers you alternatives that give you the opportunity to focus on what is important to you, your family, and your future. Call Lauren and she will help you decide which alternative is best for you and your family.
