What is the Kitsap Collaborative Law Alliance?
Kitsap Collaborative Law Alliance (KCLA) is an organization of independent family law professionals committed to reducing the expense and emotional trauma of divorce. Collaborative Law — also known as Collaborative Practice or Collaborative Divorce — is a new way for you to work with a team of trained lawyers, counselors, and financial planners to negotiate disputes respectfully, without going to court. It brings all the advantages of mediation while you also benefit from your own attorney’s support and advice, every step of the way.
