Description
Our firm handles all areas of family law. This includes such areas as divorce, separation and relationship dissolution, alimony and child support, child custody and visitation, adoption, qualified domestic relations order (QDRO’s), cohabitation agreements, pre-nuptial agreements, co-parenting agreements, guardianships, and other legal issues that may arise in your family. We also offer “unbundled services,” a term that means providing one discrete service in a legal matter in which you are representing yourself, such as reviewing dissolution agreements, drafting QDRO’s, and the like.
At Mendel & Associates, Inc., we have been helping Alaskans resolve their legal issues for over 20 years. The firm has grown into a first-rate boutique law firm, assisting clients in the areas of family law and appeals of all types. Our firm is unique in its wealth of experience and expertise in all stages of negotiation and litigation. We also offer the collaborative approach to family legal problems and representation in attorney discipline matters. Our attorneys and paralegal staff strive to provide respectful and professional legal services.
Mendel & Associates donates hundreds of hours to the Alaska Pro Bono Program, providing free legal services to low-income Alaskans. The firm received the Pro Bono Service award from the Alaska Bar Association in 2000. Allison Mendel has twice received the ACLU Liberty Award, in 1998 and 2007.
Compassion : At Mendel & Associates, we are not only attorneys, but counselors and listeners as well. We have worked with and represented clients with serious issues such as domestic abuse or mental illness. We also take pride in regularly representing non-traditional families. We have broad experience with many different situations due to the wide variety of clients we represent. Our firm is also very involved in various community organizations and activities.
In collaborative family law, each party hires a specially trained collaborative attorney, and other collaborative professionals as needed, and all work together in a cooperative, non-adversarial process. The process is defined by a specific set of principles and guidelines, the cornerstone of which is the shared goal of reaching a settlement of all issues which is an equitable compromise and meets the needs of both parties and their children.
