Collaborative divorce offers a team approach. The full collaborative team is made up of the following:
In a collaborative divorce, the parties and lawyers sign an agreement that says (among other things) that the parties shall not litigate. If someone is going to litigate, then the collaborative process terminates. However, the lawyers in a collaborative divorce are not permitted to represent the client in court. If the collaborative divorce process fails, the parties have to retain new attorneys to represent them in court. Many litigating attorneys dislike this agreement because they are precluded from staying in the case if it falls out of the collaborative process. Collaborative lawyers like this provision because it makes the entire team buy into the process for a solid commitment from all to resolve the parties’ concerns.
"The old saying goes: "I don't know where I'd be without 'such-and-such.'" Well, I can honestly say that without Leslie, Jimmy, and the incredible team at Amicable Divorce Services (ADS), I WOULD know where I'd be without them. I would be without everything that I've worked hard for; my house, all my assets, forking over money to pay all the bills, etc." Read more on Yelp.

”As with many people, I am no fan of attorneys in general.
Leslie Howell is the exception to that.
During a high stress situation, she was extremely knowledgeable, answering every question and was very helpful. She is very professional. Nobody really wins with divorces, but Leslie made the process smooth and fair which I appreciated. Thank you so much."A.M
"Leslie provides a great service she is professional and takes time to explain everything very thoroughly. She guided us through all of our options and was honest about fees for each avenue. I have no doubt she has her clients best interest at heart. The process for what it is, was straight forward. She made what's not easy as easy as it probably could be. I would recommend her mediation services to anyone looking for a simple less expensive option to court procedures."
