Our Story
In 2017, Pam called Lauren to have coffee. The rest is history…
Many that have had the pleasure of knowing Pam personally know her spirit, vitality, and passion. It is rare to see Pam not smiling or offering to help in any way she can. One of the first things Pam ever said to Lauren was: “Try not to be too serious.” Meaning: prioritize a work-life balance, find some laughter, but always use compassion. This is our Pam, in every sense.
Pam became Lauren’s mentor. Lauren remains grateful for her guidance. Pam retired from the practice of law in 2020. Since then, Lauren has worked to uphold the firm’s practice to the “Liberty” gold-standard.

Divorce Mediation
Collaborative Solutions for Family Law
Our Tucson family lawyers draw on the mediation experience that Pamela Liberty shared with Lauren Audette over many years. Private mediation gives spouses a setting to discuss property, support and parenting plans. A neutral mediator guides the conversation, while each spouse can seek independent legal advice. We focus on practical solutions and clear next steps.
Mediation can help couples resolve some or all disputed issues. However, results depend on the circumstances, full disclosure and each person’s ability to negotiate freely.
