Willems also helps resolve conflict without going to court through mediation and arbitration.

He wants to provide your family with compassionate law services through every stage of life. What sets this firm apart from others is a “peacemaking” philosophy that underlies services as an attorney, counselor at law, mediator, and arbitrator. A peacemaker seeks to de-escalate conflict, open dialogue, explore win-win solutions, base arguments on solid evidentiary proof and law, show respect, avoid vilifying the other side, and utilize cost-effective alternative dispute solutions. A trial can be a method of resolving disputes. A peacemaker prepares for trial while working for a settlement.

I solicited Daniel Willems to provide services for my divorce. This was new territory for me, so I relied on Mr. Willems’ expertise to complete the process. My husband and I wanted to work through the process without added expense or time and Mr. Willems helped us to accomplish this. Mr. Willems listened to my requests and input for the settlement agreement and guided me through the details always keeping my best interests in sight.”
