Barbara R. Morgenstern

I have been practicing exclusively family law since 1986 and became a Board-Certified Specialist in Family Law in 1991. Over the past 25 years, I have mediated hundreds of family law cases. I am also a certified arbitrator by the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers. Although I have tried numerous family law cases over my career, I prefer to resolve matters out of court. It is much less stressful for everyone when I can resolve my cases through some form of alternate dispute resolution. If it becomes necessary, I have extensive experience trying cases in Guilford, Alamance and Rockingham Counties. My Objective My core objectives are to provide clients with the best representation possible. I achieve this by presenting them with realistic alternatives to resolving their matters. By doing so, we cause as little damage as possible to families going through the divorce process. Awards and Honors Super Lawyers® Selectees Barbara R.
