Westchester Family & Matrimonial Lawyer
About Katherine Eisold Miller
Katherine Miller began practicing family law in 1988 and became a successful divorce attorney. But she soon saw that traditional divorces tended to make difficult situations even worse. The proceedings were not only long and costly but, during the course of them, the parties often grew to hate each other. She saw that some lawyers actually promoted more hostility between the divorcing spouses. She realized that litigation rarely served the best interests of divorcing couples or their children.
In search of a better way, Katherine took courses in mediation and Collaborative Practice. She trained in the new techniques and embraced them enthusiastically. She had such positive experiences with these approaches that she decided to stop accepting traditional divorce cases altogether.
"Having been married, divorced, and remarried, I'm able to use my experience to help clients get through the painful feelings that go with divorce," she says.
Katherine Miller sees her profession as a way to make a positive difference in people's lives. She believes that about 85 percent of divorcing couples can use mediation or Collaborative Practice. If you would like to speak with her to find out whether you are one of them, call (914) 738-7765.
