How Our Process Works

Step 1: Free 15-Minute Call (Screening & Fit Assessment)

To determine if we are the right fit for your needs, we offer a free 15-minute call:

  • General Inquiries: Speak with our paralegal to discuss your situation. If we're a good fit, we'll recommend a Personalized Planning Session with Erin Birt.
  • Referrals & Clients Seeking Mediation: Speak directly with Erin Birt to understand your mediation options.

Step 2: Personalized Planning Session (aka "Road Map Session")

A paid planning session with Erin Birt to dive deeper into your legal, mediation, or co-parenting needs. After the session, you'll receive a customized service roadmap and pricing estimate.

Step 3: Choose Your Service Plan

Based on your needs, you will receive a proposal for either:

  • Flat Fee Package (Basic, Standard, or Premium)
    • Structured services with predictable pricing.
    • Hourly add-ons available for extra services beyond scope.
  • Hourly Retainer
    • For complex or ongoing cases requiring more flexibility.

Step 4: Service Agreement & Next Steps

Once you choose a pricing option, we send a service agreement outlining the scope, terms, and payment structure. Upon signing, your Restorative Divorce® process begins!
