International Alliance of Holistic Lawyers
Holistic law is hard to define. It often seems more a process than a particular method of practicing law. However, there seem to be some common threads among holistic lawyers, which may lead to a practical definition of holistic law.

Profile Information
- About Me:
- Attorney, Counselor at Law & Mediator located in Houston, Texas.
100% family law mediation practice. I no longer litigate.
My price is $250 per side for 4 hours or $500 per side for 8 hours.
I will "consult" with a person for $200/hour.
Several people refer to me for people that need to talk to someone considering a divorce - they call me a "divorce coach". The people that I've worked with have found our sessions very helpful and insightful. If necessary, I can refer them to divorce attorneys to interview.

In October 2013, I was attending the annual conference of the Academy of Professional Family Mediators in Denver. While there I met colleagues from around the country who had a great deal to share about both the fiscal and emotional aspects of divorce. It was an intense learning experience for everyone involved, but we were lucky enough to be able to stop taking…See More

When many people think about mediation, they assume that the term simply refers to a professional sitting with two conflicting parties in a room and trying to get them to negotiate and reach a compromise. While this is somewhat of an accurate picture, what people often fail to realize is that there are several different styles of mediation and different mediators…See More

I wanted a "friendly" and "welcoming" site.
I also bought the names:
www.familylaw4u.com
www.TXHolisticLaw.com
www.TexasHolisticLaw.com
Where is the best place to get new clients?
In Houston we have 3 "new age" monthly magazines and I advertise in all of them. One is a national publication - Natural Awakenings. A small ad in the Houston edition is inexpensive.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
I've had a few phone calls on collaborative law but no one has ever hired me to do one.
I found the training to be very useful. I just incorporate it into my regular practice and my mediations.
I think the cost of of a collaborative law divorce scares off most people.
Then I explain mediation and they hire me to do a one time mediation.
I've been disappointed that it has become more popular.
I think the cost of collaborative law is too expensive for lower income or middle income people.
There is a small group of attorneys in Houston that do collaborative law family law cases.
I've let my membership lapse in the Texas group and am not going to renew my membership in the International group or the local group.
www.iahl.org
I've been on their board for the past 2 years. After last May's conference I came home so energized that I changed my letterhead and business cards to say "holistic attorney, counselor at law & mediator". I thought I'd get a lot of kidding but I've ONLY had good comments. Also, it makes me "stand out" and get people to ask me "what's holistic law?".
I am not hot on collaborative law due to the local lawyers who got involved early on. I see it being used as another way to get all your expensive expert friends more work. I work best all alone. I love mediation more than any other way to get divorced. You and Ed Sherman should be friends. He is the California KING of do it yourself divorce. He started the whole movement in the early 1970s. He is in this site. Go talk to him. He is my Yoda. I love Ed and you would too. He is the best.
Welcome to Peaceful Divorce! We are honored to have you here with us. We are looking forward to you joining the conversation about peaceful divorce with those of us who know there is a better way!
