What if getting divorced didn't have to be a painful, expensive, and drawn-out battle? According to Cary Jacobson, founder and CEO of Jacobson Family Law, it doesn’t have to be.Cary's firm takes a radically different approach to divorce than most divorce lawyers. They only handle non-litigated cases, focusing on mediation and Collaborative Divorce to keep the drama and costs down. They also offer flat-fee packages instead of billing by the hour - giving their clients peace of mind and control over their divorce costs.Cary reveals how establishing clear expectations and utilizing advanced technology helps her firm streamline case management, reduce overhead, and improve efficiency. That, in turn, allows Cary's team to be more responsive to their clients while maintaining a better work-life balance for themselves. Cary's methods challenge long-held assumptions about divorce and offer hope for more amicable separations.In this conversation, you’ll also get a sneak peek into Keri's upcoming book, "Divorce Decoded: A Manifesto for Women," designed to guide women through each stage of divorce with a focus on the advantages of mediation.About CaryCary Jacobson, Esquire is the founder and CEO of Jacobson Family Law.
