A Focus on Settlement; A Focus on Your Future
Founded in 2013, the Law and Mediation Office of ToniAnn Grande is a settlement-focused practice dedicated to helping clients navigate divorce and other family law challenges with empathy, sound judgment and pragmatism.
Having practiced exclusively in the field of family law for more than two decades, I have successfully guided hundreds of clients through restructuring their families. Through that experience, I have concluded that a settlement-based approach, rather than litigation, is the best path to resolution for most people. Staying out of court protects children from conflict and allows you and your spouse to resolve your divorce privately while making your own decisions about your family’s future. It also allows for creative solutions that are more durable and precise than are typically obtained in court.
I approach every matter with the goal of achieving practical, future-oriented solutions that are custom-tailored to my clients’ unique circumstances. Whether you choose mediation, collaborative divorce, or traditional negotiation, I will treat your matter with the utmost care and personal attention, giving you the expert guidance you need to make decisions and move forward with confidence.
If you are looking for a less adversarial way to navigate your family transition, call or email me to schedule a consultation. I can help you with your:
- Divorce and Separation
- Prenuptial Agreement
- Post-Nuptial Agreement
- Parenting and Child Support Agreement
Testimonials
ToniAnn shepherded me through a high-conflict divorce from my husband of 16 years. At the time, I felt depleted and overwhelmed by uncertainty and a total breach of trust by my ex-husband. I credit ToniAnn for guiding me through the divorce process and negotiating on my behalf so that we were able to settle out of court. When I shared my concerns with ToniAnn, she deeply listened and addressed all of them in the negotiation of my separation agreement. No concern was too small for consideration. This agreement has given me long-term financial security and set boundaries that help me to continue to raise children with my ex-husband. ToniAnn understood that my children were my top priority and prioritized their well-being too. She found creative and practical solutions to disagreements to keep the process moving along and she helped me envision what my life might look like after divorce. I especially appreciated her integrity and ability to work with my ex-husband’s attorneys who were inflammatory and dehumanized me. I am certain that ToniAnn’s ability to negotiate and articulate legal provisions that protected me and addressed my concerns ensured the best possible outcome for me and my children.
I hired ToniAnn just before the pandemic in November 2019. She is level headed and logical- which allows her to understand the financial and monetary aspects of a marriage. However, it is her ability to be empathetic and a great communicator that results in her being a successful negotiator on her clients’ behalf. She strikes the right balance between pushing and being respectful, being firm and yet open to solutions. She also brought a sense of calm and stressed the importance of being patient, she had my back at all times, and in the end negotiated a secure future for me. I adore her!
English is not my first language and the American divorce system was totally foreign to me. ToniAnn, with much patience and compassion, navigated me through every detail and option we may have chosen to proceed with. She fought on my behalf on every possible level, sometimes, without my full understanding of the outcome, but I was so grateful for every creative suggestion she brought to the table. My divorce process took almost 3 years and at the end I received exactly what I have asked for. She helped me get a secured and stable future, which I am forever grateful for.
ToniAnn Grande was referred to me after a few years of divorce mediation that had not culminated in a signed agreement. She stepped in and familiarized herself with the rather extensive details, financial and otherwise, and was able, in just a few short months, to steer us to a final judgment of divorce. Both parties were happy with the divorce settlement and ToniAnn’s expertise. She is extremely intelligent, well versed in the law, sensitive, patient, and understanding. I never had a doubt that ToniAnn had my best interests at heart and that she would be sure to have a keen eye on the details that I would not, as a layman, be knowledgeable enough to review on my own. I would recommend her without qualification.
