About Collaborative Law

Ronald D. Ousky, JD (Attorney)

Divorce requires people to make some of the most important decisions in their lives at at time when they feel the least able to do so. I believe that, with the right tools, each client has the capacity to make decisions that will help them rebuild their lives and preserve their highest dreams. The most important part of my job is to help people identify their best alternatives and to create an environment that allows them to achieve their most important goals.
