| What motivated you to join the collaborative movement? |
| I believe in collaboration in most things in life; for me it is part of my life’s philosophy so it was only natural that I wanted to be part of this movement . I was excited to work with teams and with different professions. |
| When did you first receive your collaborative training and from whom? |
| From the Miami Group in 2012(? I think or 2011). |
| What changes in your practice have you noticed since moving toward collaborative? |
| More forensic cases:-) |
| What is your best selling point when talking with potential clients about collaborative law? |
| The best thing that they can do for their kids , and if they do not have kids so for their future relationships. Simply put, collaborative divorce will increase their chances of divorcing peacefully with minimum negative effects. |

| “Sabra”- tough and resilient outer layer but sensitive and warm inner layer :). |
