You don't have to go to court.

Lucas Family Law provides mediation and parenting time expeditor services to clients seeking an alternative to the destructiveness and hostility sometimes seen when parties are determined to battle to the end.

Attorney Joan Lucas is a qualified mediator and parenting time expeditor under Rule 114 of the General Rules of Practice for the Minnesota District Courts.

In those cases where Lucas Family Law is providing legal services to a client, alternative dispute resolution (ADR) is always discussed with the client and used whenever beneficial. Lucas Family Law calls upon a wide range of mediators, consensual special magistrates, parenting consultants, and tax, financial, real estate and neutral experts to make the process fair and informed.

We have solved many of the common conflicts that arise in family law without forcing our clients to expose their lives and finances in the court system.

Call us today with any questions.

"I am a long-time business owner and I was in a long-time marriage, both of which made my divorce complex. But we made it through without being contentious. Joan played a huge part in this. Joan values other people's money in that she wants them to keep it. She wants to accomplish her clients' goals and at the lowest cost to them. Joan displays a real human side and allows her clients to help direct the outcome of their divorce as much as possible."
