Nashville Collaborative Divorce and Family Law Attorney
ARDENT DEDICATION TO CLIENTS
As exemplified in the testimonials above, Joshua sincerely cares about each and every one of his clients and never attempts to fit a “round client” into a “square hole.” He listens closely to each client’s unique goals, perspectives, and priorities, and then he applies his extensive legal expertise and ardent compassion to each client’s individual situation to try to achieve the very best results possible for that specific client. He is available, caring, and straight-forward at every step of your process.
Just because you are going through a divorce or post-divorce matter does not mean your daily work and family obligations get put on hold – Joshua regularly represents physicians, doctors, teachers, and professionals who cannot drop their daily obligations to focus on personal matters. Understanding that his clients must balance their difficult family law matters with their own work and personal schedules, Joshua strives to be flexible in scheduling times and locations to meet his clients, often meeting clients at their offices, at their homes, or anywhere that is comfortable and convenient for them.
DEDICATION TO EFFICIENT AND AMICABLE DISPUTE RESOLUTION
While there are certain cases that simply cannot be resolved amicably due to circumstances that are out of our control, in most instances Joshua is able to work with his clients and opposing counsel to successful resolve family law matters without court intervention through negotiation with opposing counsel, through mediation, or through the collaborative divorce process. In these instances, Joshua’s client’s have far greater control over the outcomes of their disputes than they would allowing a judge to decide their issues in a courtroom.
COLLABORATIVE DIVORCE
Joshua is well trained and experienced in the practice of collaborative family law, a client-centered approach to divorce and other family law matters that relies on respectful, team-based problem solving to reach mutually-beneficial and durable agreements for parties. He is a sustaining member of the Middle Tennessee Collaborative Alliance (“MTCA”), Nashville’s and Middle Tennessee’s practice group for the collaborative divorce process, where he is an officer on the board of directors. Joshua is also an active member of the International Academy of Collaborative Practitioners (“IACP”). Joshua has successfully advocated for many clients within the collaborative divorce process model, and he is dedicated to the practice of collaborative divorce whenever appropriate for his clients.
MEDIATION
Joshua is also a mediator who has assisted parties and attorneys in settling the most difficult of divorces and post-divorce issues. Joshua regularly represents his clients at mediation in an attempt to settle difficult cases.
LITIGATION
When amicable resolution outside of court intervention is not an option, Joshua and his colleagues at LINDSEY AMONETTE + GLASSFORD, PLLC will take your matter to court to secure the reasonable and equitable result you deserve.
