Excerpt from an interview with Mr. Travis:
"In Micah 6:8 we are told to do justice. I see this as not a mere aspiration, but as a solemn obligation. Our clients, our colleagues, the bench and the public are entitled to nothing less. . . . Our practice in divorce, alimony, child custody, pre-marital agreements, domestic violence, and other family matters is based upon years of experience and a sincere desire to assist our clients in dealing with difficult times.
. . . My interest in mediation and collaborative law stems from my recognition that creative approaches are sometimes needed to yield reasonable results. . . ."
