About Littlefield Family Law
Our firm has represented people with family law problems for over 30 years, helping clients achieve their goals and settling the vast majority of cases, by using the appropriate dispute resolution method that works for each individual. Approaches can include traditional litigation, task by task “unbundled” litigation, mediation, collaborative practice, consulting, and cooperative methods. Although we no longer litigate, we offer consulting services regarding mediation, collaborative practice, cooperative, and unbundled services.
