A Skilled Negotiator, To Help You Navigate Forward
Caroline Galloway on Your Family and Your Future:
I help clients design a future where they can rebuild, succeed and feel whole again. When families face a crisis over a divorce or other family law matter, I help them neutralize the situation and navigate forward with an emphasis on defining and achieving holistic and realistic goals. My clients include business owners with valuation cases, moderate to high net-worth individuals, and high-profile clients, who value finding a creative solution with dignity.
Here’s how:
- Negotiate on complicated issues to reach an agreement that reflects clients’ original goals while minimizing legal costs.
- Achieve a settlement in a way that does not create unnecessary pain and minimizes the destruction for families, even with cases that seem intractable and headed for trial.
- Explore out-of-court options as a first resort, including mediation and collaborative law, to usher clients toward an agreeable solution that meets their goals.
- Advocate fiercely in the courtroom as a tenacious litigator when the situation requires, but do not take litigation casually and will use it as a necessary means to an end.
- Steer clients toward decisions that are ultimately in the best interests of their family without letting emotions get in the way or cloud their judgment.
