After litigating family law matters in the Commonwealth of Virginia for over 20 years, Christine Hissong founded the firm with a goal of helping clients to plan for their futures through Pre-Nuptial/Pre-Marital Agreements, and to navigate and resolve their divorces, custody, child support, spousal support (alimony), and equitable distribution (division of property) matters as peacefully and economically as possible, and without her clients needing to step foot in a courtroom.

Throughout her years of litigating, Christine became acutely aware of the need for conflict coaching. Time and again, the lack of conflict management skills and resources was evident, in both her clients and the other party involved. The consequences of which resulted in increased hostility, emotional and psychological damage to the parties and their children, and depletion of financial resources. Hence, Christine became a certified Radiance Coach after training with ICF accredited Radiance Partners, LLC, and the conflict management coaching component of the firm was born. Christine now offers conflict management coaching to individuals and organizations who are interested in developing conflict competency.
