While Peter is a skillful negotiator and effective advocate for his clients, he has found that combining these skills with cooperative and collaborative approaches is the most effective way to resolve legal issues involving family conflict. Moreover, it aids clients in finding their way to healing and more settled lives.
Peter is an experienced mediator and collaborative law attorney. He also brings to his law and mediation practice the skills and knowledge gained from a Masters' Degree in Counseling. He knows how difficult the divorce process can be not only from legal a legal and financial perspective but from an emotional perspective as well. Peter is committed to minimizing the likelihood of litigation and courtroom conflict and is able to guide clients through the divorce process in ways that promote ease and understanding and minimize stress.
Peter also knows well that the legal system, while the only one available to obtain a divorce, is far from ideal especially for families. The traditional adversary culture of resorting to litigation to resolve conflict and focusing on “right” and “wrong” to label different points of view is neither useful nor helpful for families undertaking the separation and divorce transition. For this reason, wherever possible, Peter attempts in his Tucson family law practice to redirect the focus toward more cooperative settlement approaches like mediation and collaborative divorce. He knows from the perspective of many years practicing divorce law in Tucson that such approaches support and enhance the ability of clients and families to reduce stress and lead more content and satisfying lives.
