Commitment to Community
Mr. Lodge has been involved in various community services in Santa Cruz and the Bay Area. His stepmother served as the mayor of Santa Barbara for 25 years, and his father was among the longest-sitting judges in American history. Mr. Lodge continues this legacy of community service, viewing his mediations as a means to create a more peaceful community. Hundreds of couples have come to them feeling betrayal, anger, or even hatred toward their spouse, and they have seen those same people leave actually remaining friends with their spouses. This motivates them to do a great job and add peace to the community by getting people through a very difficult time in their lives.

Why Choose Us
The firm offers individual attention to each client, making the legal process clear and easily manageable. They take each case very seriously and fight for the best outcome for their clients. Although they are a general practice, they have tremendous experience with family law needs, including divorce, child and spousal support, restraining orders, and division of property. They frequently mediate family and divorce cases, sharing with the parties how a judge would likely rule and thus bringing the parties to a resolution without the need to actually argue the case in court.

Our Mission Statement
In the end, they care tremendously about helping couples and working with the community. They understand that mediation is not suited for every couple, which is why they offer both litigation and mediation services. However, when possible, mediation eases the pain of divorce just a bit. In their practice, they help couples get through the legal divorce or separation process for substantially less money, and in such a way that they frequently remain friends. Instead of creating friction and hatred, they create a gentle process enabling respect for each other and achieving results. They get it done quickly and ultimately believe they are doing the community a service for which they are proud.
