Practice Areas:. About Rory:. Rory joined Gonser and Gonser, P.A. in September of 2014.  Prior to that she conducted mediations as part of her family law practice since 1992.  She has extensive training in all aspects of mediation and  works with families and others who are involved in conflicts.   While Rory’s experience is primarily in family law matters, she mediates cases in Chancery Court as well as personal injury matters.. As an attorney and mediator she brings extensive experience to the mediation table which allows her to help people resolve their differences without the need for costly litigation.  She has mediated all manner of cases not just limited to family law matters.. When she  first began practicing law 35 years ago, she made a commitment to herself and to her clients that she would specifically try to make the process of divorce more peaceful and less emotionally charged. With this frame of mind she has devoted herself to working with her clients to amicably resolve their differences.  This process allows parties to work through their conflicts and reconcile their differences.. She’s  been asked many times what matters can be resolved through mediation and what matters require litigation. It is her firm belief that any dispute can be resolved through mediation if the parties are willing to commit to the mediation process.

Hello and thank you for checking out my profile.. My name is Dan Stauffer.  I am the owner of Alternative Resolutions & Law, PLLC, one of the very few firms dedicated to helping couples, private individuals and legal entities (companies) resolve their divorce or other conflict.  That conflict may be very legal in nature (that is already deeply involved in litigation), just getting started, or at any point in between.. I believe the vast majority of people deserve the opportunity to create an agreement that is in their interests (beneficial to their families), in a timely manner, and at a reasonable cost (parties share the mediator’s fee). Studies show mediation is successful in more than 80% of cases.  So, reach out to me and let’s get started on letting you get on with your life.. Most people do not realize they have the power to resolve most of their non-criminal disputes without litigation and with or without attorneys.  Please reach out to me for a more complete picture of how this works.  By the way, an agreement reached in mediation is a legally binding contract which is enforceable in a Michigan Court of Law.. My approach to helping resolve your conflict may involve mediation.  I may also help by acting as your negotiator (a subject I have been teaching to law students for many years).  In your Divorce, I may also represent you as your Collaborative Divorce Attorney..
