Arnold Cribari has been a practicing
lawyer for 29 years. With more than 16 years of practice concentrating
exclusively on matrimonial and family law, he has a track record
for negotiating solutions to divorce and custody issues, avoiding
litigation whenever possible. He has experienced the gross inadequacy
of the adversarial system for dealing with family issues, particularly
when children are involved. With the advent of Collaborative
Law, Arnold has found a viable alternative to both the adversarial
system, and to mediation,
which has a different set of drawbacks, particularly in cases where
there is an imbalance of power between the parties.
Arnold earned his BA degree at Columbia College of Columbia University
in New York, and his JD degree from Albany Law School of Union
University. He was admitted to the New York State Bar in 1977 and has
specialized training in collaborative law and mediation. His
professional credentials include numerous published articles on
collaborative law and other divorce-related topics.
