Jennifer E. Davis, Neighbor

Jennifer Davis is a recognized leader in collaborative practice and managing conflict. She believes that a thoughtful, reasoned settlement is always better and healthier for her clients than a costly, adversarial trial. Her goal is to help clients identify and achieve what is important to them so they can move forward with their life. <br> <br>Going through a divorce doesn&#39;t automatically mean having to endure the legal turmoil that is often associated with it. You now have another choice: Collaborative Practice. Developed as an alternative to traditional, litigated divorce, Collaborative Practice is a new option for divorcing couples to resolve their disputes respectfully and privately without going to court. It offers couples a humane, solutions-based approach to ending a relationship. <br> <br>It differs from the traditional process because Collaborative Practice promotes respect and keeps control of the process between the spouses, not with a judge. Because clients agree not to go to court, the process is more open and less adversarial. The goal is to enhance communication throughout the process and lay the foundation for a healthier relationship during, and after, the divorce.
