Member Spotlight: Jennifer Ficarrotta
| What motivated you to join the collaborative movement? |
| I was motivated to attend a training simply for education and insight into a new process. When I finished the advanced interdisciplinary training, I knew that collaborative divorce could be a better option for many families. |
| When did you first receive your collaborative training and from whom? |
| 2011 or 2012 from Lonestar in Houston |
| What changes in your practice have you noticed since moving toward collaborative? |
| Collaborative has improved every facet of my practice. I am more creative in traditional litigation, I am more educated in mental health issues, and my clients are demographically more diverse. |
| What is your best selling point when talking with potential clients about collaborative law? |
| Getting divorced through the collaborative process is the only way to end a marriage together. It’s the last team effort before divorce. What better way to create a successful post-judgment family than to end the marriage doing it differently, better, and together? |
| What saying/motto would best describes you? |
| Irrationally optimistic (according to those fancy psychological tests). |
| What is something that would surprise folks about you? |
| I love to fish. |
| What would you be doing if you weren’t practicing in your current field? |
| Right now, probably laundry. 😉 |
| Where do you see your practice ten years from now? |
| Right next to Caroline, Alex, Sarah, and Andrew! I wouldn’t have it any other way! |
