With 2 Children and 4 Grandchildren and an extended family of friends and neighbors in Akron, OH Attorney Sharon Berg understands the value of  family.

I believe the first obligation of an attorney is to seek the solution to their client's problems which best conserves the client's financial and emotional resources. Litigation is only one answer - and most frequently the most expensive. Alternative Dispute techniques such as mediation or the collaborative process can be a better choice - particularly when the problem is between former spouses with children or unwed parents where it is important to preserve whatever goodwill exists between the parties so as to protect the children, who are too often the unseen and unheard victim of their parents' conflicts..
