What Our Clients Say

Trusted by clients throughout Mercer County and Central New Jersey

I could not be more pleased with this law firm. From the receptionist and prompt return of phone calls and emails, all the way to Rachel herself. I found her to be honest, hard-working, fair, and I felt like she really cared about helping my mother out. We need more of this out there. She is a professional and worth every penny. I always say no one wants to need a lawyer, but when you do, you'd better get a good one. And Rachel is a great one.

Divorce & Family Law Mediation

When many people think of divorce, they imagine a public, hotly contested legal battle in a courtroom. While some divorces do, indeed, go to litigation, they don’t all have to. In fact, many couples choose mediation over litigation, as it is a far less combative and much more private process. During mediation, a neutral, third-party mediator will listen to both you and your spouse, and, from there, work to facilitate an amicable, common-sense agreement that is acceptable to both parties.

What You Can Expect:

The Divorce Process With Rachel S. Cotrino, Esq.

  1. An Initial Consultation

    First, we will sit down together and discuss your situation. Here, you can ask questions, raise concerns, and we will begin identifying what is most important to you moving forward.
  2. Planning

    From there, a plan will be developed based on your specific goals. Whether your case is better suited for negotiation, mediation, or litigation, you will have a clear understanding of how to proceed.
  3. Filing & Response

    Once you are ready to move forward, the appropriate documents will be filed to initiate the divorce process.
  4. Information Gathering

    Divorce is, in many ways, a document-driven process. At this stage, both parties will exchange financial and other relevant information so that all aspects of the case are properly evaluated.
  5. Negotiation or Mediation

    In many cases, it is possible to reach a resolution outside of the courtroom. When that is the goal, having a skilled negotiator in your corner is paramount. We can help you work toward a fair, reasonable outcome.
  6. Court Proceedings

    Of course, not every case can be resolved through agreement. If that happens, the matter may proceed through the court system, where your interests will be fully advocated for.
  7. Moving Forward

    Ultimately, once your case is resolved, you’ll have an agreement in place that allows you to move forward and begin the next chapter of your life.
