Bellevue Mediation Attorney

Mediation is a win-win situation. Both Snohomish and King counties require that family law parties attempt to resolve their issues through alternative dispute resolution before filing litigation in court. Their court dockets are overburdened.

The court system wins, but more importantly, the parties benefit, in many ways:

• Mediation is quicker than litigation.
• Mediation is significantly less costly than litigation.
• You have a greater say in the outcome than in litigation.

Attorney Erin Kenway is a certified mediator. Rather than representing one or the other of you, she will find creative ways to arrive at an outcome that satisfies all parties. The best interests of the children will be prioritized.

Unlike arbitration, where an independent arbitrator makes the decisions on child custody, property division and other issues, in mediation, a trained mediator helps you and your spouse come to agreement on all issues. Our experience and knowledge of the law will provide a realistic perspective.

There is a saying that once you have children with someone, you will always have to deal with them to some degree in the future. Yes, it is possible to avoid the anger and conflict common in divorce, and we can help.

Our offices are very comfortable and convenient. If you prefer, an alternate, neutral location is an option. Unlike a courtroom, there is no need for a judge in a black robe literally looking down on you, or flags or formality.
