A thoughtful, child focused approach to helping families navigate post judgment parenting challenges with clarity and care.
As part of Cohn Lifland’s Family Law ADR Series, we are pleased to spotlight Erika R. Piccirillo, an experienced family law attorney who serves as a Parenting Coordinator. In this role, Erika helps parents manage and resolve ongoing parenting disputes after court involvement, with a focus on reducing conflict, improving communication, and promoting stability for children.
