Detente's Client Josh Lewin

Our "Why"

As a personal injury lawyer, Stacey saw families devastated when a loved one’s life was lost.  Similar devastation happens in divorce.  People experiencing the end of marriage, very much like those suffering a beloved’s death, may have unbearable emotions, an urgent sense of loss, and a real need to grieve.  Her clients expected those things, but they did not expect the court system to make it worse.  Conflict generated there intensified negative thoughts.  Court was always a win/lose, and that unpredictability deepened insecurities.  Everyone around them suffered as a result.  Inevitably, time spent litigating put off the grieving every family needed to heal
 
Stacey's vision at Détente is to take everything her clients did not like about court and reverse it.  We offer a safe place to call a truce and sit down together.  We face conflict head on and get to the bottom of it.  Our clients learn to acknowledge each other’s emotions, cooperate, communicate openly about their needs, and let go in a healthy way.  Focusing on the spouses’ financial and emotional stability is key to their win/win success and positive future relationship.  As a child of divorce herself, Stacey makes it a personal priority as lead mediator to encourage parents to always protect their children’s best interests in part by making court a place of last resort, not a place to start.
