Legal Guidance for Ada County Families

When your family is going through a difficult transition—divorce, child custody, or another life-changing legal matter—you need more than legal advice. You need understanding. You need clarity. You need someone who knows this community and will stand by you with strength, compassion, and calm direction.

Mediation That Makes Space for Peace

In many cases, conflict doesn’t have to define the outcome. Divorce and family disputes can be resolved without the bitterness and cost of a courtroom battle. That’s where mediation comes in.

Brett C. Anthon is a seasoned attorney and an experienced mediator. He believes that with the right structure and support, many couples and families can reach agreements outside of court that are fair, lasting, and less emotionally taxing.

Mediation gives you a safe, neutral environment to talk, plan, and make decisions together. It lets you stay in control, minimize legal fees, and protect your family from prolonged stress. In Ada County, the courts often encourage mediation, and we’ve seen time and again how effective it can be.
