Mission Statement / Description of Practice:
   
  Attorney Mark D. Schubert focuses his practice on divorce and family law and alternative dispute resolution.  His family law practice includes representation of people in divorce and legal separation cases, as well as those involving custody and physical placement, child support, property valuation and division issues, spousal maintenance (alimony), non-marital relationship property issues, paternity, guardianships, step-parent adoptions, pre-nuptial and marital property agreements, name changes and other matters.  He also offers assistance to clients in resolving other (non-family law) civil disputes using the collaborative process and other ADR techniques such as mediation.

Mark’s philosophy in representing people in divorce and family law cases is to do everything he reasonably can to help his client reach a fair and efficient resolution, but to do so in a way that minimizes the associated trauma and emotional impact.  His feeling is that the issues themselves in a family law case are very often difficult for his client.  For example, going through a divorce, or having to endure a custody fight, are extraordinarily stressful events.  While he is unwavering in the commitment to protect his client's rights, he therefore strives as best he can to do that in a way that helps to minimize these emotional costs.

Mark is also keenly aware of the growing application of the collaborative process and other ADR techniques to resolve other, non-family law related cases, and offers a variety of ADR related services for a wide range of other types of civil disputes.

Mark is enthusiastic about the collaborative process because he believes that in many cases, it offers the opportunity for the people involved to resolve disputed issues in a way that is much more respectful, positive and peaceful, and much less stressful, adversarial and costly, than other alternatives such as the traditional court system.

If you are faced with a divorce, family law or other family law issue and are considering retaining an attorney, or if you would like to learn more about how the collaborative process may help in the resolution of your family or non-family dispute, you should know that Mark provides a brief initial consultation at no cost or obligation.  If you would like an initial consultation, please contact him using the information listed above.
