Divorce, Custody,  and Child Protective Services (CPS) 

We Specialize in Family Law Mediation.

For over 30 years, McLaughlin Law Office has helped families navigate difficult legal matters with care and expertise. Today, we focus exclusively on family law mediation, providing a balanced and respectful approach to resolving disputes. Elizabeth McLaughlin, a Texas Tech University School of Law graduate, is dedicated to helping families reach fair and lasting agreements—without the stress and expense of litigation. Whether you’re facing divorce, custody concerns, or other family law matters, mediation offers a cooperative path forward.

Our mediation services prioritize:

  • Flexible Scheduling – Accommodating attorneys and their clients with prioritized availability.
  • Cost-Effective Solutions – Competitive, transparent rates to keep legal expenses manageable.
  • Balanced & Fair Resolutions – A neutral environment that fosters constructive negotiations.

When litigation isn’t the answer, mediation offers a faster, less stressful alternative.

Is Mediation Affordable?

Mediation is a cost-effective, confidential, and efficient alternative to courtroom battles. Instead of leaving decisions to a judge, mediation allows both parties to work toward a fair resolution with the guidance of a neutral mediator.

Key Benefits of Family Law Mediation:

Saves Time & Money – Mediation is significantly faster and more affordable than litigation.
Confidential Process – Unlike court proceedings, mediation discussions remain private.
Reduces Conflict – A cooperative environment helps preserve relationships and encourages civil communication.
More Control Over Outcomes – Both parties actively participate in shaping agreements rather than relying on a court ruling.
Flexible Scheduling – Sessions are scheduled at a time that works for attorneys and their clients.
