About Ora
Ora Schwartzberg trained at Vermont Law School and earned her J.D. in 1984. She began her legal career soon after finishing law school. The early years of practice set the stage for a long-running solo practice she would later establish.
She opened Schwartzberg Law in 1985 and has operated the firm since then. The practice grew around dispute resolution and matters that intersect family and finance. Over the years she built qualifications to handle contested matters and negotiated settlements. She also developed a practice style that favors structured processes over courtroom brinkmanship.
Schwartzberg holds several professional certifications that shape the work she accepts. She is a New Hampshire Certified Family Mediator. She is a Certified Financial Litigator through the American Academy of Financial Litigators. She also earned certification as a Collaborative Law Lawyer from the International Academy of Collaborative Professionals. Those credentials reflect training in mediation, financial analysis for litigation, and collaborative practice techniques.
Her bar admissions span three states: New York, Vermont and New Hampshire. She has served in bar governance and local association leadership. She was elected to two consecutive two-year terms on a board of governors. She chaired the Alternative Dispute Resolution Section of the New Hampshire Bar for four separate one-year terms. From 2011 through 2014 she served as president of the Grafton County Bar Association. These roles tied her to peers across court, mediation and bar committee settings.
Schwartzberg’s practice blends mediation, collaborative law and financial litigation. She often steps into family matters that have significant financial components. She also assists clients who prefer negotiated resolutions through collaborative processes or certified mediation. Her courtroom work has been less visible than her mediation and collaborative engagements, but she maintains the litigation skills required when negotiation stalls.
Outside of client matters, she has continued participating in bar activities and ADR programming. Those activities keep her connected to evolving mediation standards and financial-litigation techniques. She balances that professional involvement with running a small firm and managing client relationships day to day.
She currently practices under the name Schwartzberg Law and handles family mediation, collaborative practice, and financial litigation matters.
