Sally Holt Emerson Speaks to District and County Clerks Association

Wednesday, July 11, 2007

Sally Holt Emerson, one of the Underwood Law Firm's Family Law specialists, addressed the District and County Clerks Association on June 21, 2007 at their annual meeting in Wichita Falls, Texas. She gave a 45-minute presentation on Collaborative Law.

Collaborative Law is a form of dispute resolution which removes the "win at all costs" approach to divorce. In this process, parties and their attorneys contractually agree at the outset to settle their disputes without going to court. Spouses avoid lengthy - and costly - "discovery" by agreeing to disclose and exchange all information required to make sensible and fair decisions.
