Expert Consultation for High-Conflict Situations and Cases

I learned something at every session; how to approach clients in a difficult situation with very practical phrases, how to think about an issue and sometimes, just remembering that some files are hard and that we are imperfect humans trying to do our best. It was a great balance of seasoned colleagues asking hard questions and a group dynamic, led by Bill, that was extremely supportive.

I've found Bill Eddy's guidance within the High Conflict Consultation Group to be an invaluable resource for navigating high-conflict situations. The group's collective wisdom has provided me with a clearer understanding of the underlying dynamics, empowering me to develop more effective communication in navigating high-conflict situations. The supportive space that Bill and his consultation group create has been crucial in building my confidence to handle these types of challenging interactions and work towards more constructive results.

The best part of the group has been the other professionals I have met through the group including lawyers, therapists, mediators, and divorce coaches. Everyone has always been supportive as I navigate some really tough cases and they have provided great recommendations for experts. High conflict litigants and attorneys can be incredibly draining. Through this group I have learned that what I experience is not unique and that others across the country are dealing with similar frustrations and challenging personalities. Not only does the group validate these experiences, but I always walk away with concrete strategies for approaching these cases. I also find the insight into the psychology of personality disorders fascinating. I highly recommend this group to anyone who is feeling like they are facing these difficulties alone, or anyone who simply wants new strategies for navigating high conflict cases.

Joining the consultation group was a wonderful compliment to my professional development, as well as a support in dealing with the challenges of working in high conflict divorce cases. I found it very valuable to hear the perspectives from others who practice in the same realm, but in different capacities. It was really insightful to hear from the mental health professionals and mediators. They helped me look at things through a new lens, to brainstorm different approaches or resources, and at times to just commiserate with the limitations of our family law judicial system. I looked forward to having the opportunity once a month to having this professional sounding board and support system.
