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.

Robert D. Bordett, CFP, CDFA posted a blog postThe Good, The Bad and The Ugly: Prenuptial Agreements
Over the last several years I have seen a number of clients who are entering into their divorces with prenuptial agreements already in place.As I thought about couples considering what to include in their prenuptial agreements, I remembered an article from many years ago published in The New York Times by Jan Hoffman called “THE RICH: How They Keep It.” Here are some…See More

Whether divorcing or not, one of the things that people need to be aware of is the increasing problem of tax identity fraud.I know this from personal experience. A few years ago, after sending in a check to the Internal Revenue Service, I received notice that I had already filed. I only found out when my mortgage company called to notify me that the IRS was showing two different 1040s filed under my…See More
Robert D. Bordett, CFP, CDFA posted a blog postThe Internet’s Impact on Divorce
Life today is not the same as it was 20 years ago. The amount of information available with a click of the mouse makes us all better parents, patients and consumers. I’ve watched as the Internet’s influence on my clients has made them better-prepared for the important, and sometimes quite complicated, issues at hand. It has also been a great equalizer in the knowledge gap about finances…See More

One of the standards of practice in mediation has always been that the mediator should recognize that self-determination is a major part of the decision-making of the participants.

So you've filled out your financial affidavit that was required during the divorce process, and chances are your budget was left lopsided. Now is the time to look at your spending plan - not months after you’ve waded deeper into debt.Creating any kind of budget is not something most people relish - especially in the middle of a divorce. But it is important to realize that in order to be…See More

I wanted a "friendly" and "welcoming" site.
I also bought the names:

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!
