Jamie Patterson

Attorney

“I’m an attorney, collaborative divorce professional and a trained mediator. I help clients navigate change and resolve conflict in divorce, family law, and probate matters. Using collaborative law tools, I enjoy working with clients to identify their true goals and interests, gather information needed to make decisions, brainstorm and evaluate possible options, and, finally, negotiate an outcome that best meets the goals and interests of all parties involved. When a dispute impacts children, I help the participants find the best solution possible for the children. I like working with families to build their skills for negotiation and conflict resolution so they can help create their own outcomes, while preserving relationships whenever possible.”
