For 30 years, attorney and mediator Terri Wintering has been helping clients in Olmsted County, Steele County, and Dodge County, Minnesota, find creative resolutions to legal disputes. While seeking to minimize time, costs, and conflict, we at the Wintering Law Office, Ltd., strive to help our clients build and maintain amicable relationships that promote their and their children's long-term best interest. Contact our law office in Rochester for a free half-hour consultation.
The primary focus of our law practice is family law, particularly divorce and child custody. While it is tempting to think that once your divorce is finalized you will never have to deal with your former spouse again, that is seldom the case—especially if you have children. It is healthier for you, and for your children, if you are able to maintain a civil working relationship with your former partner as you continue to parent together through school, braces, graduation, weddings, and grandchildren.
Effective Legal Resolution—Usually in Less Time, at Lower Cost
At the Wintering Law Office, we provide our clients with the support and options they need to reach binding legal agreements that protect their rights to a fair settlement and promote their long-term financial stability and well-being.
Court is always an option, but whenever possible, mediation, collaborative law, arbitration, early neutral evaluation, and parenting time expediting are used to help clients reach agreements. Contact our Rochester law office when you need help with divorce or child custody.
