There are four notable Tulsa family law attorneys who made the 2007 Oklahoma Super Lawyers.  These attorneys are not only known for their skill in family law, but are also leaders in bringing collaborative divorce to the Tulsa area.  I was one of these attorneys, along with Moura Robertson, Hugh Rineer, and David Tracy.  We were chosen as 4 of the 25 top family law attorneys in Oklahoma, and 4 of the top 12 family lawyers in Tulsa.  Why would we change from our career building court practices and turn to collaborative divorce? 

We have all seen the tragedy of the court system on families.  The litigation system breeds dissension and polarizes the parties.  Many time these parties are also parents, and will remain in that role the rest of their lives.  What happens to the children when their parents can't speak to one another.  We hope that we have started changing the face of Tulsa divorces by making them more future oriented.  What will your life with your child's other parent look like in a year?  5 years?  20 years?
