Biography
- Litigation
- Collaborative
- Mediation
During an initial consultation, Ken walks clients through what each scenario would look like and helps them determine the most appropriate process for their circumstances. Regardless of the model used, Ken's focus is to help his client in a cost effective manner. A vast majority of his divorce cases are resolved without the need of going to court. On the other hand, if it is in the client's best interest, Ken will recommend litigation.
Ken is one of the few attorneys in the St. Louis area that has specialized training and education to offer the collaborative divorce option. This model is based on cooperation among parties instead of hostility. An early proponent of this alternative approach, Ken was a founding member of the Collaborative Family Law Association.
