Legal Staff Includes:
Isabel M. Millard
 Isabel
M. Millard, Attorney-at-Law. Early
in her career, Isabel became interested in alternative methods to
litigation for handling family disputes. As a result, she became
certified as a Mediator and began working to help families sit down
face-to-face to reach a settlement they could live with, rather
than having the courts make those decisions for them. Throughout
her legal career, Isabel has maintained an interest in helping her
clients help themselves understand the issues of their case and
the legal ramifications of their decisions. Through her experiences
mediating cases, Isabel has refined her communications and negotiations
skills. She uses these skills to help her clients break down the
antagonism and angry emotions that often accompany family law disputes
to shift the focus back on the issues involved in their case.
