One Lawyer: A Path to Resolution

 

Legal challenges shouldn't force you to choose between expensive battles and going without legal help. When Melissa Denton developed the One Lawyer approach, she envisioned a better path to resolving disputes, preserving relationships, protecting privacy, and providing top-quality guidance without the drain of traditional litigation.

​

Here's how it works:

​

A Different Approach 

​​

Imagine working with a single, highly qualified attorney who shares comprehensive legal advice with both parties—the same or better guidance than you'd receive in separate consultations, but delivered with complete transparency. This isn't a conflict of interest; both parties make an intentional choice to work toward resolution rather than conflict. Your rights remain protected throughout the process, and critical deadlines are carefully tracked.

​

The Power of Shared Wisdom 

 

A One Lawyer practitioner brings at least a decade of specialized experience to your matter. They believe the best advice doesn't require opposing armies of attorneys. This seasoned professional maintains the highest ethical standards, ensuring that power imbalances are never exploited and all agreements meet both legal and ethical requirements. When additional expertise would benefit your situation—whether financial advice or other professional consulting—we bring in the right resources.

​

Privacy and Relationships Matter 

 

One Lawyer process minimizes the public display of your private information in court records. This protects you from those who would misuse your disclosures. One Lawyer also maximizes your opportunities to remain on civil and even positive terms with each other, children, and other family members. This contrasts with family law court battles, which often devastate litigants and longstanding relationships with each other and other relatives and friends.

​

Smart Economics 

 

Why share an attorney? Beyond the obvious cost savings of splitting legal expenses, you avoid the substantial drain of litigation. One Lawyer services typically come with set fees rather than unpredictable hourly billing, letting you know your costs upfront. While representing yourself might seem like a money-saving choice, legal mistakes can prove incredibly costly in the long run. One Lawyer offers professional guidance and protected rights for both parties at a fraction of the cost of traditional legal battles.

​

A New Path Forward 

 

The traditional legal system has its place, but many disputes deserve a more cooperative and mutually aware approach. One Lawyer transforms legal challenges into opportunities for resolution. You receive the professional guidance you need while preserving what matters most: relationships, privacy, and peace of mind - while also saving you money.

​

Consider this approach if you want:

​

• Expert legal guidance without adversarial expense

• Privacy protection for sensitive matters

• Preservation of important relationships

• Professional handling of time-sensitive issues

• Cost certainty through fixed fees

• A guaranteed alternative to court battles when both parties commit to working together

 

One Lawyer offers more than dispute resolution—it provides a way to address legal challenges while building a better tomorrow. When you're ready to take a different path, we're here to help.
