Firm: Law and Mediation Office of Oran E. Kaufman

417 West Street , Amherst , Massachusetts 01002

Practice Areas: Mediation, Guardianship, Family, Alimony, Child Support, Divorce & Separation, Marriage & Prenuptials, Uncontested Divorce

In 1994, I founded Amherst Mediation Services. My decision to offer mediation as an alternative to the traditional litigation system stemmed from my years of experience in the Probate and Family Court and in particular my concern that in many ways the court system was not the most efficient and best equipped system for handling family crisis such as divorce. Mediation offers participants more control over their own destiny and works to increase rather than discourage communication. Mediation is also far cheaper and often far quicker than traditional litigation. However, mediation is not appropriate in every situation. I continue to provide my clients with legal services. In my capacity as an attorney I provide services which are professional, courteous and sensitive to my clients' financial needs, emotional needs and family situation.. In my ongoing effort to provide my clients with the widest range possible of solutions that meets their needs, in 2004 began offering collaborative law as yet another alternative approach to resolving divorces and other domestic relations issues. In the collaborative law model, I represent my clients just as I would in the traditional litigation approach. The primary difference however is that both lawyers and both clients sign a contract that the matter will be handled without resorting to the courts to resolve disputes. If a client decides to utilize the courts during the divorce process, both attorneys must withdraw and both clients need to retain new attorneys.. I now focus my practice almost exclusivley on helping clients through mediation.  I offer services througout Hampshire, Hampden, Franklin, Berkshire and Worcester counties including such towns as Amherst. Northampton. Springfield, Pittsfield and Worcester.

45 Dan Road , Canton , Massachusetts 02021

Practice Areas: Divorce & Separation, Child Custody, Child Support, Mediation

As a divorced, single mother, I have the utmost empathy for families going through the strenuous process of probate and family court proceedings. My practice was founded on the goal to assist both men and women through the probate and family court, including divorce, post divorce modifications and contempt actions such as custody, support proceedings and non-payment of alimony.. I have experience working with women and children who were physically or sexually abused. Often victims of domestic violence want an attorney who "just gets it," and it has been my experience than many do not "get it" nor do they feel comfortable representing or relating to clients with a domestic violence component to the case.. My clients will always be encouraged to share their thoughts, fears and goals with me throughout the representation. I strive to offer affordable legal services; as a single mother, I am sensitive to the financial strain of parents when navigating the probate and family law arena. Often, clients cannot quailify for reduced legal services through various bar associations based on their incomes; however, I work with lower middle income and low income clients on a sliding scale fee or flat fee basis and make the dream of retaining a lawyer a reality.. I help families of all kinds (single, married,  same-sex marriage, divorced, separated, etc.) in drafting wills, living wills, health care proxy, power of attorney and or by creating trust accounts for their children, grandchildren or partners in the event of incapacitation or death. Often, couples wait until divorce proceedings begin to consider wills, and the family law attorney has to recommend another lawyer; I can assist you and your family the entire way.. In addition to court representation, I offer family law mediation services for matters from divorce to contested custody matters. Not all legal matters have to be resolved in a courtroom; the parties know themselves far more than a judge or attorney ever will. It is empowering to watch parties work through their issues and come to an agreement with the assistance of a patient, effective mediator.. For families or attorneys in need of a guardian ad litem, also known as a GAL, I am qualified to serve as a GAL in cases regarding family law matters. I provide thorough, detailed reports in a timely fashion.. Though born and raised in the South, I attended undergrad at Hampshire College in Amherst, MA and graduated in 2004. I returned to Massachusetts in 2011 for law school at Northeastern University School of Law. I now call Massachusetts my home.

Firm: Mediation Saves

255 Homer St , Newton , Massachusetts 02459

Practice Areas: Mediation, Litigation

I am a full time certified Mediator who guides clients to craft financial and parenting agreements that meet their essential interests and which can save them money and future heartache.  When parents are divorcing, I hep them focus on the best interests of their children and how to preserve the parental relationship.. I worked for eight years in the trenches of litigation in a large downtown Boston law firm, and saw people waste tremendous amounts of time and money litigating.  I also saw the emotional toll that litigants face.  Consequently I switched to mediation.  I worked for one of the founders of divorce mediation in Massachusetts from whom I learned how to successfully mediate many apparently irresolvable conflicts.. I have a large family with many strong personalities.  I also am an active volunteer in my children's school and community.  Within my community, I have been sought out by people, including my Rabbi, to help resolve disputes where great sensitivity, creativity and discretion is needed.. What is most rewarding to me is when couples who have not been able to communicate for years, are given the tools through mediation to learn how to resolve disputes themselves and to begin to learn how to parent together as they are living apart.
