Notable Viewpoint: Trained Mediator

In addition to being a skilled family law and divorce litigator, Attorney Nielson is a trained mediator. Mediation can be a viable option for spouses who seek to work together to resolve their divorce or other family law issue. An experienced family law and divorce mediator can help parties reach a comprehensive case settlement in an informal and private setting before the parties file with the court. Notably, the benefits of family law and divorce mediation can include time and cost savings, as well as the preservation of an amicable relationship between the parties. The mediator, however, must have the requisite knowledge and tools for mediation to work in divorce and family law cases.

As a mediator, Attorney Nielson can draw upon her experience as a trial attorney and Certified Financial Litigator. Although she remains neutral in her role as a mediator, Attorney Nielson’s insight on complex financial matters and parenting issues results in mediation sessions that are well-informed and efficient. Prior experiences enrich Attorney Nielson’s problem-solving abilities as she assists parties in reaching creative and workable solutions for them.

Upon graduation from law school, Attorney Nielson served as a Judicial Law Clerk to the Justices of the Massachusetts Superior Court. This was a prestigious opportunity that enabled Attorney Nielson to hone her legal research and writing skills.

As a Judicial Law Clerk, Attorney Nielson assisted the Superior Court Justices in all phases of civil and criminal litigation. She prepared draft decisions and legal memoranda, as well as proposed jury instructions. Additionally, Attorney Nielson worked extensively with the Justices on trials, hearings, and motion sessions.

 

The Ability to Provide Compassionate Guidance

A strong client advocate, Attorney Nielson further possesses the compassion to guide her clients through complex and sensitive divorce and family law matters.
