My approach to assisting clients reach settlement of their family law issues is a combination of educating them about their legal rights and focusing them on their "interests" instead of their "positions"in a negotiation.  The processes that I offer are non-adversarial.  In my opinion, it is well-worth it (both emotionally and financially) to work within a non-adversarial process to resolve legal separation issues or any family law issue.     
   
I offer the following services:

Mediation
I act as a neutral facilitator who helps you and your spouse reach legal agreement.

Collaborative Practice
I represent one of you, and the other spouse retains his/her own lawyer, on the mutual understanding that neither party will institute court proceedings.  You and your spouse reach legal agreement outside the court process.   

Negotiation
I represent one of you, and the other spouse may retain his/her own lawyer, on the understanding with my client that we will not institute court proceedings.  You and your spouse reach legal agreement outside the court process.

Testimonials
"I wanted to thank you for assisting with my divorce two years ago. The payments have ended, my ex-wife is working and has moved on personally. I am very glad it was all resolved amicably. I am recommending you to a friend who unfortunately is going through a separation. Hopefully you can help."

"Neeraj Goel is unique in his profession.  Not only did he handle my case in a timely, calm and effective manner, he also managed to resolve my case out of court (which I thought was impossible) and therefore saved me time and high court expenses. Neeraj is a voice of reason and the calming influence in a heated battle.  He is one of those rare people you meet in life who makes complicated things simple. I am truly grateful for his service.  I would highly recommend Neeraj to anyone that is looking for the very best."
