Mediated Solutions is your alternative to going to court for family law issues. This is a process where all parties sign an agreement not to go to court. Collaborative lawyers negotiate based on the needs of the client as opposed to using legalistic strategies and arguments. There are many benefits to mediation including: keeping your dignity, having more control of time spent on your issues, support of your lawyer, quality and durable agreements, tailor made agreements and it's less expensive than a traditional court proceeding. Rebecca Picard has more than 400 hours of mediation training including 1981 law school training, 20-hour Bill Lincoln Training, 40-hour divorce mediation training through AAA, The Mediation Center and Erickson Mediation Institute. She's mediated hundreds of cases, served on the MN Supreme Court Task Force on Visitation & Child Support 1995 - 1996 and was an Adjunct Professor of ADR at William Mitchell College of Law in 2009. She's highly able to deal with the legal and emotional aspects of family law. She also offers life coaching for those who want to overcome obstacles and follow their dreams.
