Marie Washington understands the delicate nature of a divorce and will take the time to listen closely to your concerns. The dissolution of marriage is an emotionally and financially challenging situation that affects not only your personal and professional lives but your children as well.
Ms. Washington encourages mediation, arbitration, and negotiation as the most effective way of reaching an agreement, because it is less stressful, less expensive, and eliminates the uncertainty of a judge’s order at trial. Reaching an agreement with your spouse and avoiding a lengthy litigation process may also help preserve relationships and communication among family members.
However, if a satisfactory resolution cannot be reached through mediation, arbitration or negotiation, then Ms. Washington is prepared to go to court and aggressively represent her client’s interests.
