Camille Milner

Camille Milner has extensive experience as a trial lawyer, having handled over 50 jury trials. Despite her passion for courtroom advocacy, she recognized that the traditional trial process is not conducive to restructuring families undergoing divorce. While courts can finalize divorces, the emotional toll on families, especially children, can be profound and long-lasting.

Understanding that more than 95% of cases settle before reaching trial, Camille emphasizes the importance of focusing resources on crafting quality settlements early in the process. This approach contrasts with the late-stage settlements that often occur after significant resources are spent preparing for trials that rarely happen.

About 25 years ago, the concept of Collaborative Divorce emerged, pioneered by a visionary lawyer. This method supports families through the divorce process in a manner that promotes healing and continuity, even if family members no longer share a home. Collaborative Divorce draws on principles from the Harvard Negotiation Project, which advocates for "interest-based" negotiation over "positional" negotiation, leading to more favorable outcomes for all parties involved.
