Marital & Family Law Mediator

Natalie Baird-King, Esq.

Natalie has litigated hundreds of family law matters during her career, from simple divorces involving child support, equitable distribution and timesharing to highly-contested divorces.

Natalie understands the needs and concerns of the parties and prides herself on an impartial view with the goal of mitigating the need for lengthy litigation. Well-versed in family law, Natalie understands that in most cases, with complicated circumstances and lots of emotions at play, there truly are no winners; only the best solutions for difficult transitions.
