What Margaux likes about the practice of family law is how multi-faceted her work is as it involves client interaction, collaboration with members of the firm, legal writing and research, appearing in court, participating in alternative dispute resolution sessions, and helping people through one of the most difficult events in their lives. She also finds family law stimulating because it intersects with other areas of the law and other subject matters (psychology, tax issues, financial issues, real estate matters, bankruptcy, etc.) providing interaction with professionals in other fields as well. Margaux also has an appreciation for the fact that family law has moved more towards an emphasis on forms of alternative dispute resolution and settlement early on in the process rather than litigation. She believes this betters serves the parties involved.
