Process Options

Tailored Options For You

Tailored Family Law offers all process options available in family law.

OPTION 1

Collaborative Process

Collaborative family law is the option where you and your spouse resolve all issues in your divorce amicably, with the assistance of collaborative professionals that provide guidance, emotional support, resources, and expertise. In this process, parties work with a professional team including attorneys for each party, a financial specialist, and a divorce coach.

OPTION 2

Mediation

We offer mediation as a process option for pro se parties (the parties do not have lawyers representing them in mediation). However, if we believe it would be helpful for the parties to obtain legal advice or additional information, we will refer them to their own legal counsel or other professionals for consult prior to our next session.

OPTION 3

Traditional Process

In the traditional process, the attorneys and clients are on opposing sides of the case. The goal in a traditional process is typically to avoid trial by coming to agreements whenever possible. However, if it is not possible to come to agreement, the goal is to proceed in getting the best possible result for the client.

Client Reviews

Tailored Family Law helped solidify issues in my parenting plan that were not working and needed to be better clarified in actionable ways. Additionally, I was able to gain confidence in what ways to move forward with others areas of my divorce settlement. They are clear in how their financial structure is set up. I will continue to work with them in the future as needed. I am glad I went with this recommendation and Jena really listens to  client needs.
Rachel
Jena is a true professional. In the emotionally charged setting of family law, she is calm and decisive. A rare combo of smarts and heart. I could not recommend her more highly based on my personal experience as a client of hers.
David
This is more than just a job to Jena. She is emotionally invested in her clients and wants the best possible outcome for them. Jena is always polite and courteous yet can be tenacious and a fighter against opposing counsel in and out of the court room.

I was referred to Jean Maxwell when my separation escalated beyond the collaborative process I had hoped for. She was very respectful of my desire to keep the process as collaborative as possible while providing the expertise to address the adversarial approach used by opposing counsel. I felt confident that she had the fire power if I had needed it, but she was willing to keep things as cordial as possible per my request. She (and Rose!) were very responsive throughout the entire process. Two "on it" women! Highly recommend.
Jodi
Divorce is hard. Your life comes to a shattering halt and what you felt was built upon bedrock turned out to be sand. With that comes a lot of confusion, anger, and deep seated resentment. You lack clarity and every path seems to be full of obstacles. That is why if you are reading this, you are indeed a lucky individual, because it means you are considering Ms. Jena Maxwell as your advocate and ally in this process. When I say Ms. Maxwell has your best interests in mind, it is an honest assessment. Many times she has advised me to take a different course of action because not only did she care about my mental wellbeing, but also my financial wellbeing. She took a call on while with her family celebrating a holiday to give me counsel, worked through several others to make sure I was well represented in court.
Brad
I followed Ms. Maxwell from another law firm because of her professionalism and care for my case. It was a long divorce yet Ms. Maxwell continued to support all of my concerns throughout my divorce. She was very understanding to my situation and assisted me with even the smallest concern. I highly recommend Ms. Maxwell as an attorney and will continue to inquire her if anything ever arises in the future. My many thanks and appreciation for all of her hard work and her colleagues as well. Thank you Jena! You rock!
