The Smart Divorce Presents: Finding the Problem-Solving Lawyer
Hosted by Deborah Moskovitch and Steve Peck | Featuring Guest Mark Baer
A Milestone Conversation in Divorce Education
In this landmark episode—an “achievement episode” in the evolving landscape of divorce education—Deborah Moskovitch and Steve Peck guide us into a transformative conversation with Mark Baer, a seasoned family lawyer, mediator, and thought leader. This episode serves as a precursor to the Soft Landing Podcast, introducing key principles that are shaping a more humane, forward-thinking approach to separation.
Reframing Divorce with Compassion and Clarity
What if your divorce could be guided by someone trained not to fight—but to solve problems and preserve dignity? That’s the compelling perspective offered by Mark Baer, who challenges traditional litigation-based models and reveals how misaligned legal representation can escalate conflict unnecessarily.
- Learn why “how you start the end” of your marriage determines the long-term functionality of your family.
- Discover how problem-solving lawyers think differently—and what to ask during a consultation to identify one.
- Uncover the emotional and financial benefits of non-adversarial processes like mediation and collaborative law.
This conversation marks a shift—a smarter, more intentional way to navigate divorce, prioritizing insight, integrity, and enduring family wellbeing.
