As part of her family law practice, Linda Noeske is a founding member of the Collaborative Practice of San Mateo County. She is trained extensively in both collaborative law and mediation and meets all qualifications of the Collaborative Practice of San Mateo County and the International Academy of Collaborative Professionals (IACP).
Linda Noeske will review with the client non-adversarial approaches to divorce which include both collaborative law and mediation. If the parties choose collaborative law for their divorce case, they sign an agreement to cooperate, fully disclose all assets, and engage in cooperative bargaining to work toward a mutually beneficial result. The key difference between collaborative law and conventional, or adversarial, divorce is the collaborative law pledge to reach an agreement without going to court. Parties in collaborative law have complete control over the outcome of their divorce cases and may avail themselves of outside experts to help with financial and mental health issues and to assist in determining custodial and time-share arrangements which are in the best interests of their children. Issues are discussed openly and with respect. The parties and their collaborative counsel focus on a problem-solving, results-oriented approach.
