A new paradigm is needed for the way family law is practiced in Michigan, and Becker Legal, P.C. is leading the way.

Divorce is a life-changing event. Becker Legal offers a better way to end a marriage through specialized advanced training in Collaborative Divorce. This groundbreaking method revolutionizes the way couples divorce. It addresses your legal, financial, and emotional needs and achieves the best family arrangement possible. Families at war produce only losers and no winners. This exciting new process empowers you – not lawyers or a judge – to shape the outcome of your divorce.

"I focus on clients’ long-term interests, not their short-term anger," says Lori D. Becker, attorney and mediator, who founded her own family law firm in 2002. "Each case is unique, so as a divorce lawyer, I examine the family’s specific needs and tailor my service to them. My advanced training in Collaborative Divorce allows me to take this to a whole new level."

One of the few Michigan divorce lawyers who offer Collaborative Divorce

Becker is one of the few Michigan divorce attorneys trained in Collaborative Divorce, in which both spouses’ divorce attorneys negotiate a settlement outside of court – with a written agreement not to litigate. Traditional lawyers, no matter how friendly or cooperative, lack the special skills and training that collaborative lawyers can provide.

"It’s a healthier way to help families," says Becker. "Collaborative Divorce is a holistic approach to family law. Attorneys trained in this method are highly skilled not only in family law, but in effective communication, cooperative negotiation, and creative problem-solving. You get a plan on how to handle future issues."

Making you and your family stronger

Becker educates clients about conflict – specifically, avoiding it when appropriate, using the energy in a more constructive way, and saving the courtroom only for truly immovable, conflicted cases. "My focus is on saving time and money," she says. "I prefer to create long-term financial and parenting plans that work by enabling my clients to understand and address their children’s needs while conserving emotional and financial resources, and by helping clients play an active role in designing their lives after divorce. Cutting corners in how you meet the challenges of a divorce may be the most expensive thing you can do."

What if... you actually liked your attorney?

Becker has been featured in articles in the Detroit News and Women’s Lifestyle and has been a legal expert at Metro Chick Radio. Her practice as a divorce attorney benefits from her ten years’ experience volunteering as a Crisis Counselor for sexual-assault and domestic-violence victims. It has taught her not only how to listen but how to hear what people are truly saying.

"We listen. We respond. We return your phone call."

Becker knows her clients are emotionally distraught; she helps ease their anxiety through constant communication. "I return all phone calls on the same day," she explains, "so clients always know their case status. I never leave them hanging. I measure my success by the success of my clients. Not only can I facilitate your divorce – I can help preserve your family."
