Following a 15-year career in journalism and book publishing, Pamela attended the University of Arizona James E. Rogers College of Law, graduating in 1999. After a few too many high conflict litigation cases, Pamela created Donison Law Firm, PLLC in 2005, with an emphasis on out-of-court solutions, including arbitration, mediation, collaborative law, and negotiated settlements. The Firm's expansion is focused on creating a mediation and ADR training practice in Vancouver, BC (coming in Summer 2011). Pamela has an undergraduate degree in Business Management which she uses to assist clients in Double Divorce. Pamela is a Judge Pro Tem and Mediator for Maricopa County Superior Court. She is president of the Arizona Women Lawyers Association, on the board of directors for the Arizona Chapter of the Association for Conflict Resolution, arbitrator for the State Bar and the State of Arizona Personnel Board, and is an active member of a number of other professional organizations. When she’s not changing the world, Pamela is a wife and mother, an award-winning photographer, active blogger, and mentor to other women entrepreneurs.
