Holly Mullin’s personal experience shaped her low-conflict approach to family law.

Mullin’s parents’ divorce when she was growing up taught her that the cases are more than a court proceeding or financial contract, they are also about a family’s future.

“My role is to find a resolution for my client and not add to the animosity,” said Mullin, managing partner at Sterling Lawyers. “Having that personal experience of growing up with two households and watching co-parenting happen in everyday life absolutely helped shape my approach.”

She said the way divorce cases are handled can change relationships between family members forever, which is why she makes preventing unnecessary battles a priority. Mullin is also certified to practice collaborative divorce and mediation.

“A divorce case isn’t just about fighting for a financial future, but a healthy and productive family life as well,” she said.

Mullin enjoys helping her clients solve their problems and find a way forward.

“Often when clients first come to me for an initial consultant, they are at a really low point, sometimes with little hope or optimism,” she said. “I love getting them through to that light at the end of the tunnel.”
