James will only recommend litigation where it is necessary to protect his client’s interests and will help clients explore alternatives to litigation where it is appropriate.
Since joining Galbraith Family Law, James has included collaborative family law in his practice and recommends this process for people that want to control their futures and work together to build solutions that make sense.
In his spare time, James enjoys spending time with his friends and family while keeping busy playing soccer and other sporting activities like squash, tennis, golf and dodgeball.
With divorce rates hovering around 50%,
collaborative practice is the modern answer to divorce. A divorce is a
difficult and trying process for everyone involved but there is a future after
the dust has settled. The collaborative process allows people to shape and
control their own future instead of letting their lives be dictated by the
adversarial system that is inherent in our courts.
