Most people going through a divorce understand that acquiring the services of an attorney is a clear first step. However, choosing the right divorce lawyer for you is another matter entirely.

Types of Alternative Dispute Resolution
Not all divorce proceedings need to end up in court, and not all divorces need to be a legal mess. Offering many avenues through which you can reach a resolution can be a huge factor in determining which law firm will best suit your needs. It may be a good choice to explore alternative dispute resolution to resolve divorce disputes in a less contentious and more amicable manner. We don’t just see these methods as “alternatives”, we see them as solutions which may be of great value to our clients.
Mediation – Divorce mediation is a non-binding method which involves an impartial mediator to find common ground between two parties. Mediation is a great choice for our clients who wish to avoid litigation and handle their divorce issues with an open mind. Working with a law office that provides not only mediation attorneys but mediators themselves may be an advantage
Collaborative Divorce – Another alternative method of conflict resolution, collaborative divorce also is aimed at avoiding going to court while working towards a common goal. The primary difference is that collaborative divorce entails a written agreement that states both parties are committed to settling their disputes outside of the courtroom. Collaborative family law attorneys can help you reach an amicable and favorable conclusion without the added expense of litigation
Arbitration – Also similar to mediation, but with the key difference that arbitration is legally binding once the process is complete. Arbitration may be advantageous to individuals who are wanting to quickly, inexpensively, and fairly resolve their disputes without litigation.
Experienced and Respected Family Law Attorneys
When selecting a divorce attorney, you want to know that you are in good hands. While education and the study of law are essential to being a successful lawyer, we believe there is no replacement for hands on, focused experience in the local area.
You may want to look for divorce and family attorneys who have been recognized by the Supreme Court of New Jersey as Certified Matrimonial Law Attorneys, a distinction held by only 2 percent of eligible lawyers in the state. Another sign of respect from legal peers is earning the honor of being nominated in the New Jersey Super Lawyers list. Some respected attorneys are even asked to contribute to books and publications or serve as panelists for the New Jersey Matrimonial Early Settlement Panel Mediation Program.
By choosing the Law Firm of Townsend, Tomaio & Newmark, you will not only be working with an experienced team, but with one that is greatly respected by its peers.
