Senior mediator and arbitrator at ADR Systems, Hon. Helaine L. Berger, (Ret.) will be featured in an upcoming legal program on family law mediation for survivors of domestic abuse. This free, in-person program will explore when, how, and if mediation can be a positive solution for marital disputes or marriage dissolution cases involving domestic abuse. There is one-hour of MCLE credit pending for this program.

“For the past eight years, I’ve been mediating cases involving physical, financial and emotional abuse where Orders of Protection are in place. To accommodate these factors, I have an array of safety protocols available,” said Judge Berger. “I have found that with mediation, resolution can be obtained more quickly. Most importantly, with a proper framework, mediation can empower the abused party.”

To learn why mediation may benefit cases involving domestic abuse, join Judge Berger and leading attorneys at Schiller DuCanto & Fleck LLP, 321 N. Clark Street, Suite 1200 Chicago, IL 60654 on June 5th from 4:30 PM until 5:30 PM.
