Divorce Outside The Courthouse.
We understand the worries many people have about divorce court, where a judge who doesn't know you or understand your situation decides your fate and that of your children.
We want to help you skip court and use a simpler method. Trust Keith one of the first lawyers to learn and embrace collaborative law and mediation. By helping clients negotiate key issues on their own, he seeks to help them take control in a process that often seems out of control.
THE PROCESS
Collaboration & Mediation Saves You And Your Family
Mediation also helps you avoid the risk of trial, protects your confidentiality, and can decrease stressful conflict. Mediation may also protect your children from the pain of parental conflict.
A collaborative divorce is a great alternative if mediation is not an option, and will minimize any influence of the courts and help keep family goodwill intact.

Skip the Court
COLLABORATIVE

I hired Keith to represent me in a divorce proceeding that I initially thought would be easy. As it turned out, the ex-spouse was losing his meal ticket and fought every inch of the way. Keith did a superb job of protecting my important assets in this case. Even though my ex-spouse made things difficult--Keith prevailed. I am happy to endorse Keith Morse and would hire him again should the need arise.
