As chair of the Litigation Section of the State Bar of Michigan and as her career developed, Sue Keener found traditional litigation was often frustrating for her clients; it often failed to both address the human aspect of divorce and resolve issues her clients deemed most important.
Sue then became enlightened by her first mediation training and deepened her knowledge with Collaborative Divorce Training. These processes and skills help integrate her values and life perspectives with her work as a lawyer and mediator.
