Litigation is, by nature, an adversarial process. The two opposing sides tend to dig into their positions, making it harder to find a compromise that meets the needs of both parties. When an adversarial process is used to resolve a family issue, such as a divorce or a child custody dispute, it can carry a very high emotional and financial cost.
We founded Kennedy Law Associates because we recognized a need for a more civil way to resolve family issues. We are committed to bringing dignity, respect and efficiency to a legal process that is often painful, lengthy, expensive and unpredictable.
Rather than litigating every issue, our lawyers favor less adversarial ways to reach an agreement through mediation and collaborative law. We believe that people are more likely to abide by an agreement if they had a role in creating it.
Our civil approach to family law doesn't mean we aren't prepared to fight for our clients. If litigation is necessary to protect your interests in a divorce, child custody or marital property division issue, our attorneys are highly qualified and prepared to take your case to court.
We are one of the few law firms in the south Charlotte (Ballantyne) area that practices exclusively in the area of family law.
