Julia will file any necessary documents with the court. You may be required to attend court hearings as needed with Julia. You will need to attend any scheduled mediations or meetings arranged for your case.

You can hire Julia to attend your mediation with you and give you legal advice prior to reaching a final agreement. Julia can assist you in preparing and filing the documents that are required to be filed prior to the pretrial conference to assure you are in compliance with the Court’s orders.

The court usually requires mediation prior to presenting any issues to the judge to decide.

Prior to attending temporary hearings, contempt hearings, divorce trials, modification trials or many other types of hearings, the court will require you to attend a mediation. A mediation is where you (and your attorney) and the opposing party (and their attorney) meet with a trained mediator to try and resolve their pending issues. In light of the current issues our world is facing, mediators have embraced mediations via zoom. Zoom mediation is an efficient and convenient way to meet the requirements of the court and to attempt to resolve your case.

Julia is a trained mediator and performs many mediations in that capacity every year. Julia also attends mediations with her clients. Mediation is a wonderful way to resolve disputes, saving time, stress and money for clients.
