About Jill White
Jill is an attorney-mediator and collaborative divorce lawyer. After experiencing a painful divorce of her own, Jill transitioned completely out of litigation to mediation and collaborative dispute resolution.
Jill recognizes that underlying loss and uncertainty hinder balanced decision-making in divorce. She works closely with her clients, walking them through legal challenges toward peaceful resolutions and settlement agreements. Jill’s work in dispute resolution generally keeps clients out of court.
