As a mediator, Ms. Gorrell has extensive experience conducting mediations and providing a non-confrontational approach to resolution for many client couples. Mediation is a form of Consensual Dispute Resolution, which can be a time and cost-effective alternative for parties when judicial intervention is not necessary. Her no-nonsense approach has the ability to drastically save clients time, money, and emotional turmoil. Unlike trial, mediation provides an opportunity for families to confront more than relevant legal issues and can extend to the underlying family or personal issues present. Couples voluntarily meet with Ms. Gorrell who acts as a neutral, impartial third party safely assisting divorcing couples in addressing and resolving disputed issues surrounding their divorce.
As a litigator, Ms. Gorrell offers a holistic approach to representation taking special care to prioritize the needs of her clients. She practices with an eye for effective communication to ensure her clients are informed at every stage of the process and has a resounding awareness of her presence and impact on others.
Ms. Gorrell has considerable experience with troubled youths, assisting and guiding at-risk children through the judicial process. Additionally, her time spent at the Harriet Buhai Center for Family Law prepared Ms. Gorrell to anticipate the needs of her clients and ensure their understanding of rights and options available.
