Denver Collaborative Family Law Lawyers

When both parties to a dispute are interested and committed to in identifying mutually acceptable terms, collaborative law can be an effective means for saving time and money. At the law office of Preeo Silverman Green & Egle, a collaborative lawyer assists clients in working towards legal solutions while avoiding litigation. Trained in the principles of collaborative law, we understand how to bring parties together, identify common ground, and focus on the issue at hand. Facilitating bargaining and negotiation, we work together with the other spouse’s attorney to guide discussion and ensure both parties never lose sight of those things most important in resolving their dispute – honesty, fairness, and mutual respect.

Getting Started – Understanding What’s at Stake

There’s no question about it – litigation can be expensive and time consuming. Collaborative law provides a format that brings parties together who are interested and committed to resolving a dispute without going to court. Our collaborative law attorneys help parties avoid emotional or non-essential issues, recognizing the law of diminishing returns when personal motives intrude upon rational reflection. We focus on financial issues important to both parties and emphasize the importance of reaching a settlement that is not punitive, but rather fair and just for all involved.

Reaching an Agreement

As the classic game theory example of the Prisoner’s Dilemma illustrates, people often believe they have a rational reason to act in a way that actually harms their interests in the long run. Using dispute resolution principles and rational choice theory, a collaborative law attorney focuses on what is in each party’s best interest even if it means compromise or giving up a portion of what one hoped to gain. Developing a settlement along mutually agreeable terms helps ensure both parties will adhere to a final agreement over the long term.
