About
About Our Firm
A multi-disciplinary approached is used to address the complexities of a family law matter as clients are guided towards resolution. This may involve business valuators, specialized accountants/finance professionals to conduct and advise on asset tracing, medical health practitioners if clinical issues are a concern and partnering with parenting experts. If it is appropriate Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR – also known as mediation and mediation/arbitration) may be engaged, but if that is inappropriate the matter may need to proceed to court – Patricia and Shilpa do that too. The most prudent resolution avenue is carefully examined and together with the client, his/her strategy is developed.
