Collaborative law is a process of alternative dispute resolution designed to keep the parties out of court. Counsel who have been trained in the collaborative law process and other professionals, such as financial professionals and custody experts, engage in a series of meetings with the clients designed to develop creative solutions to the issues in a divorce and agree on peaceful, practical solutions. Ms. Grimes has been trained in the collaborative model since 2006 and practices in this model as well as more traditional settlement or litigation models. She is also a member of the International Academy of Collaborative Professionals (IACP).. Ms. Grimes is also a mediator and can act as the neutral mediator for both parties. Mediation is also an alternative dispute resolution process designed to have parties agree outside of court proceedings. If you are interested in using Ms. Grimes as a mediator, please contact our office. One party may initiate the contact to set up the appointment but as a mediator, she needs to meet with both parties together for the mediation process.

Practice Areas: Divorce & Separation

I am interested in helping people get through a divorce, and related custody and financial issues, in the most positive manner possible, while helping the client preserve personal dignity and family relationships.   Most cases can be resolved with integrity and grace if the parties and the lawyers involved decide in advance that's how it should go. I encourage my clients to take control of the process from the beginning and create the best chance for a lasting and positive solution.. I have practiced in Alexandria since 1986, and live nearby in Mt. Vernon with my wife and our dog, Gracie.   I'm a little nuts about the Nats; and I'm still trying to bake an acceptable baguette.

My law office is about efficiency and price.. These go hand in hand for legal services but it is my obligation for clients to feel satisfied. My clients are given an honest assessment upfront about the complexity and time involved in their case. I take advantage of e-communications and keep in-person time to a minimum in order to maximize on keeping fees low. The law library is practically no more, my firm takes advantage of the countless legal resources served online.. My prices are more than competitive. Price doesn't always mean quality of service. The firm offers great prices on regular legal services, while most "older" law firms charge a premium. Ask me about our rates, you be the judge.. Our approach to law is not about the bottom line but about the relation and services with our clients.

I believe in direct communication and cooperation between the lawyer and client. A lawyer can’t be helpful if he or she talks at you or around you. So I'll ask lots of questions, I'll really listen to your answers, I’ll give you straight answers to your questions, and, together, we will craft an approach that gives us the best chance at achieving your goals. At every step in the process, we’ll watch for opportunities to settle issues. Bear in mind, however, that well prepared litigation is sometimes needed to create the environment for settlement.. Ms. McQuade is experienced, knowledgeable, respected and has practiced exclusively in the family law field for almost 30 years.. She has been chosen for inclusion in ‘Best Lawyers in America” every year since 2009, in SuperLawyers Magazine every year since 2008, in Washingtonian Magazine’s “Top Divorce Lawyers” since 2004, and in Martindale-Hubbell’s “Preeminent Lawyers” since 1997 (through Martindale-Hubbell’s peer review rating system, she has consistently been given top scores in both ethics and competence in her area of practice.)
