Constructing New Beginnings
Divorce doesn’t have to mean a costly and painful battle. Mediation and Collaborative Divorce are two options for staying out of court. Both are faster, cost-effective, non-adversarial alternatives to stressful and expensive litigation. Working with a mediator or a collaborative support team is more peaceful and creates a foundation for both members of the couple to move forward to build a new life.
As a mediator and collaborative attorney with a down to earth, practical approach, Emily guides couples toward cooperative, respectful engagement. By honoring both parties’ priorities – and with the goal of lower stress for children and parents – she can help you get around roadblocks and craft sensible solutions. The results are lower costs, equitable results, and healthier, happier kids.

How De Falla Law & Mediation Can Help
Collaborative Divorce is a team approach to divorce. The friendly and cooperative process keeps you in control of your future, focusing on what is most important: family, finances, and emotional health. Participants work with a team of professionals to craft their own agreements, taking into consideration each family member’s needs and interests. The couple works together in a safe and structured environment, communicating respectfully and protecting the children from their conflict. Decisions are made by the participants themselves, outside the court system. Learn more >

“I completely respect Emily’s wisdom and admire her wealth of knowledge. She is extremely generous with her time and beyond fair. What was truly rare and the most important trait to me, was her empathetic nature, her HEART, and her desire to connect with your heart.”
