What is a Negotiating Coach?

People often ask me, "What is a negotiating coach?" Coaching services are a new kind of legal service that enables you to keep control over your divorce. Rather than represent you in court, we help you represent yourself in your negotiations with your spouse. We also answer your legal questions and provide legal analysis of your situation with recommendations for how to reach a fair settlement agreement with your spouse. The fee for this service is $119.95. This fee includes unlimited telephone calls related to your particular matter.

Most people would like to have a fair settlement of the end of their marriage and stay out of court and not have the court decide their future relationship. Up to now there have been few resources to help them. Mediation is an alternative, but both spouses have to participate. Typically, one spouse wants out of the marriage and is more willing to negotiate. If the other spouse doesn't want to negotiate, the couple will often end up being represented by counsel and the dispute will end up in court even though the parties don't really want to litigate. Once one of the parties retains counsel, both parties lose control of the dispute.

We believe that our "legal advice and coaching service" can help you move the entire settlement process quickly and with less acrimony and conflict that if you were represented by an attorney. We listen to your side of the story, provide an objective view of what each parties rights and obligations are, and suggest some possible options and alternatives and help you decide which is best for you. If you have reached an "impasse" in your negotiations with your spouse, we can suggest some approaches to resolve it.

We can help you evaluate offers and proposals from the other side, warn you have potential problems, and help you avoid them. We can recommend a mediator if the situation requires one. If we haven't entered into a coaching agreement to provide services to you as a client, we can function as a mediator where we meet with both spouses, either in person, on the telephone, or on-line, and help you work out a settlement together.

How much does it cost for this coaching service? Much less than you might think. Because we provide a telephone service, you can get as much or as little help as you need. Many times a problem can be solved in a half hour or 45 minutes on the telephone, saving thousands of dollars. Other times, someone needs to "check in" periodically to keep on track. We may have many 15-minute consultations with someone over a period of months as they negotiate a complex case. The fee for this service is $119.95. This fee includes unlimited telephone calls related to your particular matter.

Why use a coach instead of having someone "do it for you?" Because no one can make better decisions about your life and your children than you can. The most experienced lawyers or judges only see you for a short time, out of your usual element, when you are likely to be nervous and upset. No matter how hard they try, they can never have as complete a picture of your life, your relationships, your abilities and aspirations as you.

Studies show that the more a person participates in his or her own divorce settlement, for example, the more satisfied he or she is with the outcome. Until now, it has been hard to get the information and benefit of someone else's experience without turning over a substantial amount of power and control over you life, just when you are likely to feel a little out of control already.

A coach keeps you in control.
