Nancy Perpall is a former critical care nurse who used conflict resolution to get her patients the best care. As a practicing divorce attorney for the last 30 years, she’s used conflict resolution to get her clients the best results. As a former Chair of The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania’s Domestic Relations Rules Committee, she championed rules to promote conflict resolution through mediation as an alternative to litigation.

 

Nancy’s upcoming how-to book, The Malnourished Marriage – 5 Essential Emotional Nutrients for a Healthy Relationship, is a conflict resolution buffet of food for thought to help couples bilge a diet of discontent and feed their hunger for love. Nancy’s novel, Around Which All Things Bend, is a story about relationships and how far we’re willing to bend for love.
