Domestic Violence

“After more than forty years as both a trial attorney and a judge who has presided over hundreds of cases at the trial and appellate levels, I’ve seen firsthand that the courtroom is not always the best path to resolution. Alternative dispute resolution offers what litigation too often cannot — efficiency, privacy, finality, and control. In the right hands, it delivers justice without delay.”– The Honorable Thomas V. Manahan, J.A.D. (RET.)

A Balanced Approach To Overcoming Your Divorce

Sandra is a certified mediator with experience helping clients reach peaceful resolutions after a separation. She is proficient in negotiating beneficial agreements and tenaciously advocating for her clients in court. Her dedication to alternative dispute resolution, along with her dual role as a mediator and litigator, enables her to provide an adaptable, client-centered approach.

Judge Thomas Manahan, our special counsel, is a retired judge who served on the New Jersey Superior Court, Appellate Division. In addition to his judicial work, he has experience as a special discovery adjudicator, a mediator and an arbitrator.
