Description | Pam Warnock Blair is an equity member of McNabb, Bragorgos, Burgess & Sorin, PLLC.

She has also represented plaintiffs and defendants in employment litigation and defendants in multi-district litigation.

Pam serves on the fee dispute committee of the Memphis Bar Association and provides pro bono mediations to assist courts. Pam served as an adjunct professor at the Cecil C.

In every case, her goal is to minimize drama and save expense for the divorcing couple. The most common mediations occur when the Husband and Wife each have counsel and a mediator leads them toward an agreed settlement. Mediation keeps the divorcing couple in control of the outcome. When children are involved, mediated divorce agreements can be the start of the compromise necessary for future co-parenting between parties who otherwise might not get along.Pam Blair will assist divorcing couples in an even simpler and less expensive path to divorce. As a mediator, Pam Blair will meet with just the divorcing couple and assist them toward settlement, not as a lawyer for either party, rather as a mediator. As a neutral leader, she will insure the parties equally understand the procedure of the path to the divorce. The goal of the process is to reach a workable mediation agreement which the parties can take to the counsel of their choice for the final steps. Because of the good work done with Pam Blair, there is much less work for counsel to do.Ideally, this results in less cost and turmoil to the couple. If you wish to simplify your divorce or other family dispute, to determine if you are a good candidate for this process.Family Law:In an contentious probate court trial between family members, Pam Blair’s client, an administrator of an estate, recaptured greater than one million dollars to the estate when the Court found that a family member had exerted undue influence on the deceased family member.Pam Blair has participated in divorce settlements using alternative approaches including collaborative law and mediation without mediators. She believes in early settlement of as many issues in dispute as possible to keep costs and contention down. This approach narrows the issues if a trial is necessary.In a recent divorce trial, Pam Warnock Blair sought enforcement of a signed mediation agreement after the opposing spouse repudiated the agreement on grounds of duress. In the same trial, the Court ordered the parenting schedule preferred by her client as opposed to the parenting schedule preferred by the opposing spouse. |
