David P. Shebby and Steven A. Mindel Receive Certification in Collaborative Law
David P. Shebby and Steven A. Mindel David P. Shebby, who is Of Counsel at FMBK, and Steven A. Mindel CFLS*, Managing Partner of FMBK, recently became certified in Collaborative Law. “Collaborative Divorce was invented in 1990 as a better way to resolve divorce cases, as opposed to battling in court. It's a dispute-resolution alternative in which both spouses and specially trained collaborative lawyers negotiate the settlement outside the courtroom (along with neutral financial and/or mental-health professionals), with an agreement that the lawyers must resign if negotiations break down. Collaborative Divorce has since caught on as a less adversarial, less stressful method of divorce.” (divorcemagazine.com).
