WHY COLETTE?

THE BORING STUFF

THE GOOD STUFF

FORGET THE ADVERSARIAL WAY

 

  • By nature, the daily lives of lawyers puts us in adversary mode. After years of practicing and begrudgingly living the adversarial life, I knew there was a better way……through compromise and looking at the whole case, the bigger picture.
  • Off and on for years I have volunteered my time to mediate cases at the Denton County Alternative Dispute Resolution Center. Each time I successfully mediated a case the feeling was so much more, more accomplished, more happy, more peaceful, more resolved…. the parties had MORE HEALING AND LESS TRAUMA.

CLIENTS DON'T WANT TO FIGHT - THEY WANT TO HEAL.

Everyone has a story to tell.

 
We need to be heard… everyone has a story to tell…the story must be heard for HEALING to happen. 
 
Not everyone can LISTEN to the stories of others. 
 
Colette is a LISTENER. The youngest of seven children, the daughter of two lawyers, a mother of four, a niece to an aunt with bi-polar disease, an aunt to a niece with down syndrome, a municipal judge for over twelve years, an empathetic heart, a passion for healing combined with a lifetime of living in the law and years of practice in Denton County makes Colette the mediator to help your clients heal and resolve their case. 
 

BE A HERO.

When your client’s story is heard, healing will happen. Healing through mediation makes you a hero to your client because you, their lawyer are part of the healing. Successful outcomes make happy clients. Happy clients love their lawyers – happy clients send lawyers more clients- happy clients come back for future needs.
