The firm offers a sanctuary for couples who wish to untie the knot respectfully and efficiently 🌿.

Mediation and Collaborative Divorce

The firm's core service is helping couples reach agreements outside of court. As a trained mediator, Stefan Otterson guides parties through discussions on sensitive topics such as property division, spousal support, and parenting schedules. In Collaborative Divorce, each spouse retains their own attorney but signs an agreement to resolve issues without going to a judge. This approach puts control back in the hands of the family, not the court system. The firm also handles:

• Adoption and Surrogacy: Assisting with the legal processes to build families, including embryo donation.
• Guardianship: Helping families establish legal care for minors or incapacitated adults.
• Prenuptial Agreements: Drafting documents to clarify financial expectations before marriage.
