This Month's Program

Mike Wakshull
Forensic Document Examiner
Mike Wakshull is a court-qualified forensic document examiner. Mike has authored three books on forensic document examination. He has been an invited speaker at several international and local forensics and legal conferences including India and China (as well as many DTP chapters). He uses his technical and science training to present a science-based approach to determining the authenticity of documents and signatures, etc. Mike will tell us about his techniques and will provide interesting examples of contested documents and some cases that settled quickly after they were established to be fraudulent (or not fraudulent in some cases).

I believe couples should be in charge of their own divorce. With over 28 years of experience in the courtroom, I know when you decide to battle it out in court, you are essentially putting your fate in the hands of a judge. The experience typically involves a massive amount of unnecesary paperwork, large amounts of time and money, high stress and emotional scarring. And it is rare for either of the parties to feel good about themselves or the process in the end.
This is why I decided to put down the gloves and focus my law practice exclusively on Divorce Mediation and Collaborative Divorce for my clients in the state of California.
For those living both in and out of California, I also offer Divorce Coaching services.
