The Divorce With Dignity Network offers a proven method and a superior lifestyle opportunity for legal professionals.
We help legal professionals across the United States successfully own and operate their own peaceful divorce services business or add an incremental revenue center to an existing legal business. Learn more about the Divorce With Dignity Network.
Divorce With Dignity (DWD) Providers include Paralegals, Mediators, and Attorneys operating independently or within Law Firms.
They are high-functioning and driven professionals who have worked in family law, but who desired the flexibility and autonomy of running their own business – or an additional revenue stream.
They are legal professionals and divorce specialists and they each meet the requirements of their state and are paralegals, attorneys, mediators, or legal documents assistants (a California requirement).
Our Roots
The story of Divorce With Dignity (DWD) began almost 30 years ago, with our founder, Cindy Elwell – a legal professional like you. After experiencing her own divorce (which began with a short run of combative litigation and ended with peaceful spousal collaboration), she had an idea. In her own words, “I decided that I wanted to help people going through a divorce to do it peacefully – the way I did – and provide a safe place for them to do so.
I believe that we are much better off making our own decisions about our private lives, than leaving it in the hands of the legal system. So in 1995, I opened the first Divorce With Dignity office in Alameda, California and since then, I (along with my expanding network of Providers) have helped thousands of people obtain an amicable divorce.”
With the most successful legal services system for legal professionals, we are driven by ongoing training and support, and a commitment to serve our Providers.
Our current Providers talk about the tremendous potential for growth that a DWD Provider affords them. They brag about finally achieving the work/life balance they didn’t have while working for others. They rave about their freedom and the future they are now building with DWD. Many Providers refer to DWD as a fulfilling lifestyle business.
It’s said that people retain only a small fraction of what they are taught – and that their grasp on that information erodes surprisingly quickly. So, it is no secret that traditional, quick-fix training seminars often don’t provide lasting results. That’s why Divorce With Dignity is so effective and so in demand. Our system is designed to create lasting performance improvement and ROI through extensive training and support and a process that is ongoing and builds on the prior experiences and successes of the entire network of Providers.
Through high-quality marketing, advertising, and sales support – along with initial and ongoing training – you build the necessary techniques to serve your clients and increase your client base.
