About This Episode

Cordell & Cordell Executive/Managing Partner, CEO Scott Trout, is joined by Cordell & Cordell Client Development Attorney, Chelsea Williamson. Together they discuss and break down the differences between mediation vs collaborative law.

If you have gone through, are thinking about, or are going through a divorce, it’s important to learn the distinctions between mediation vs collaborative law. Mr. Trout and Ms. Williamson cover everything from how mediation and collaborative law work, who is involved, who talks to whom, how much attorney involvement you can expect, how likely you are to spend time in court, and more. They also provide important questions for you to ask yourself when making a decision on who you would like your lawyer to be and how you want to approach your divorce process.

If you are facing divorce and not sure where to turn, contact a Cordell & Cordell divorce attorney.
