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.

One of the things I have learned over the years is that we cannot be a Jack-of-all-trades and a master-of-none.

When we were young we thought our parents were indestructible. They played with us in the yard and on the floor. They climbed ladders and would clean out the gutters every fall. As we grew older, we became more indestructible and watched as our parents became more cautious and careful. Then we started having our families and children (their grandchildren),…See More

Thank you to Melody Richardson of Richardson, Bloom and Lines, LLC of Atlanta, for our first book review. The book being discussed is Dr. Howard Drutman’s book “Divorce: The Art of Screwing Up Your Children.” Dr. Drutman’s sardonic new book, “Divorce: The Art of Screwing Up Your Children”, is a “how-to” book for parents who have become so embroiled in the battle with their children’s other parent that they have become blind to how that battle is screwing up their children.

Taxes are one of those unavoidable things that we have to deal with every year. The deadline stays relatively the same, but many of us nonetheless find ourselves scrambling to gather our documents.

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!
