What past consultation clients say
Professionals come back because it works.
"Being part of a high conflict practice group has become an essential part of my professional responsibility. Bill and the group members are always generous in their suggestions for showing up for our clients and ourselves with deliberation and compassion. Sometimes the best part of my month is the first 20 minutes of the group when we can all check in with people we know truly understand."
J.M. — Therapist, LMFT
"I've found Bill Eddy's guidance within the High Conflict Consultation Group to be an invaluable resource. The collective wisdom has provided me with a clearer understanding of the underlying dynamics, empowering me to develop more effective communication in navigating high-conflict situations."
U.A. — Family Law Consultation Group member
"Joining the consultation group was a wonderful complement to my professional development, as well as a support in dealing with the challenges of working in high conflict divorce cases. I looked forward to having this professional sounding board once a month."

Frequently asked
Before you reserve.
What's the difference between a "Legal" and a "General" consultation?
Legal consultations are for matters in active or pending legal proceedings — custody, dissolution, employment disputes, etc. They include extended document review and allow your attorney to attend. General consultations cover any other high-conflict situation (a difficult employee, a workplace pattern, a family dynamic with no litigation) at a lower rate.
Where does the consultation happen?
Virtually, on Zoom or by phone. After checkout, you'll select your preferred format and the appropriate link or dial-in number will be emailed to you.
What documents should I send to prepare?
Send only the most relevant documents that pertain to your consultation — typically legal documents, communication threads (email, text), or other written communication. Our consultants take 30 concentrated minutes to review materials. For more complex situations, the 60-minute consultation includes more review time.
Is this legal advice?
No. HCI does not give legal advice or base consultations on application of law and legality. HCI consultation is educational — about high-conflict individuals and situations, and managing the damage they can cause. If you're involved in a legal case, your attorney is welcome to attend.
Is my consultation confidential?
Yes — HCI consultants keep all consultation information confidential per our Consultation Agreement and will not voluntarily release information. There are important nuances about mandated reporting and subpoenas — see the full Confidentiality & Legal Policy below.
Who will I meet with?
Bill Eddy, LCSW, Esq. leads all Legal 1:1 consultations and both monthly consultation groups personally. Megan Hunter, MBA leads General 1:1 consultations — workplace situations, family dynamics, organizational challenges, and any non-legal high-conflict matter.
I'm dealing with a high-conflict person in my personal life. Can I book?
Yes — anyone can book. The consultations are the same whether the situation is a professional case or a personal-life dynamic you're navigating.
Read the full Confidentiality & Legal Policy
HCI's consultants will keep all consultation information confidential per our Consultation Agreement and will not voluntarily release confidential information.
Choosing a lawyer, therapist, or other professional is a personal preference. Professional confidentiality is governed by state laws that are somewhat similar across the U.S. HCI consultants have neither the obligations nor the protections of mandated reporters as Educational Consultants. Mandated reporters are only those specifically set forth in state laws.
Regarding obligations: California Clinical Social Workers, for example, are only mandated to report child abuse and elder abuse when serving in the role of social worker. Lawyers, mediators, and consultants are not listed as mandated reporters. When HCI speakers and consultants give an Educational Consultation on general patterns of high-conflict behavior and general methods of dealing with them, we are not mandated reporters and will keep all consultation information confidential — except as described below.
Regarding protections: we will not voluntarily release confidential information. However, because HCI consultants are not serving as lawyers, therapists, or mediators, we cannot block proper subpoenas from lawyers or court orders from judges to release written information or to testify in court.
In cases where our consultation client has a lawyer, at the lawyer's discretion, our consultant can be hired directly by the lawyer — giving the consultation confidentiality under the lawyer's "work product" privilege for all conversations between the consultant and the lawyer and/or the client.
