Tucson Divorce Attorney/Mediator/Collaborative Lawyer

Peter is a clear, compassionate and knowledgeable divorce attorney who has dedicated himself to easing clients through the difficult transition from marriage to divorce. He is recognized in the Tucson community as a competent, strong and respectful advocate and mediator.

The focus of Peter’s family law practice is in helping clients:

While Peter is a skillful litigator and effective advocate for his clients, he has found that most often cooperative and collaborative approaches to resolving family conflict are the most effective in moving through the legal system and toward healing and more settled lives.

Peter is a skilled negotiator, experienced mediator and a collaborative divorce attorney.  He has a Masters’ Degree in Counseling and knows from years of experience how difficult the divorce process can be from emotional, financial and legal perspectives.  Peter is committed to minimizing litigation and courtroom conflict and is skillful in guiding clients through the divorce process in ways that promote understanding and minimize stress.

Peter knows well that the legal system, while the only one available to obtain a divorce, is far from ideal 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 peaceful, full lives.
