Alice (Ali) Dansker Doyle, Esquire, has focused her practice on the Collaborative resolution and mediation of family law issues. Trained as a Collaborative professional, a mediator, and a parent coordinator, Ms. Doyle uses her skills to assist families in the areas of child custody and parental access plans, support issues, property dispositions and other divorce and separation-related issues. She is committed to working with families to resolve such issues in a less contentious fashion while increasing communication between parents to benefit the children. Ms. Doyle and Mary McNeish Stengel, LCSW, established Collaborative Training Solutions, Inc., (CTS) a company completely separate from her law and mediation practice. CTS provides trainings and other professional resources related to Collaborative resolution. The trainings include various practice areas, including family, business and mediation and are designed to increase and strengthen the number of Collaboratively trained professionals in the mental health, financial and legal fields so that Collaborative practice can become a viable and wide-spread alternative dispute resolution process. Born and reared in the Midwest, Ms. Doyle earned her undergraduate degrees from the University of Cincinnati in Law Enforcement Technology (1976) and Urban Administration (1980), and her graduate degree (M.S.Ed.) in Counseling Psychology in May 1983 from Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana.
