Helping Northern Virginia Families Reach Collaborative Solutions
For many families, going to court is not necessarily the best way to resolve their legal issues. Litigation is expensive and time-consuming and adds to the emotional strain you are already feeling. Mediation and collaboration can help you save your money for your children's future and avoid the stress of litigation. They provide creative solutions not available in traditional litigation.
From my Virginia office, I — Lawrence D. Fabian — firmly believe that mediation is the best way to resolve most family law disputes. As a mediator, I act as a neutral third-party, who guides the parties through the mediation process. When acting as your attorney, I represent you during the collaborative law process, keeping your best interests in mind.

Facilitating Cooperation in Mediation
By taking the time to work out an agreement, you can set up an arrangement that truly meets your family's needs. In litigation, a judge who does not know you will make decisions for you. Mediation empowers you and your family to make those decisions for yourselves.
With nearly 20 years of family law experience, I am available to facilitate conversations regarding all family law matters, including:
- Child custody, support and visitation
- Spousal support
- Divorce
- Property division
When you are struggling with divorce or other family law issues, I can offer unbiased guidance and help you come up with a creative solution. My goal as a mediator is to help both parties come to a cooperative, "win-win" solution.
Representing You in Collaborative Law
Collaborative law is slightly different from mediation. During mediation, I act as a neutral referee. During the collaborative law process, both parties are represented by their own lawyers, and everyone agrees to resolve their issues outside of the courtroom. I can represent you during this process, protecting your interests as we move towards a settlement meeting your needs.
