Providing neutral legal information. Quickly. So you can move on.


A mediating attorney offers all of the practical and legal divorce

help you need from a lawyer, without all the cost or hassle.


If you and your spouse:

  • Don’t want to hire lawyers;
  • Don’t want to spend a lot of your money on your divorce; and
  • Don't know what you need to complete your paperwork;

Yet…

  • You need to know how to finalize everything;
  • You want to understand the law and protect yourself legally; and
  • You need help to reach an agreement on your property, child support and/or spousal support.

Mediation provides:

  • the relevant and neutral law;
  • what you need to file with the court;
  • child support and spousal support help;
  • immediate legal protections;
  • information on how to save on court filing fees;
  • the final divorce contract (Marital Settlement Agreement);
  • low hourly rates of $270/hr (typically settled in a few sessions); and
  • you decide how much or how little help you need.

For more information on how mediation can help you in your divorce go to our GENERAL MEDIATION PAGE.

If mediation is not right for you, individual hourly legal consultations can help you resolve your divorce collaboratively, outside of court.
See our Collaborative Law Page.

TESTIMONIALS

I am so grateful for all you have done for me. I am ecstatic with your work; you have brilliant ideas and negotiated effectively.
~ T.O.
I don't know where I would be without having had you. You have really been my hero in this and my children's hero.
~ G.F.
I really appreciated your skill in dealing with an extremely charged situation. You managed to make us both feel heard and supported, have the clarity to know when and where to push, and the sensitivity to know when to just be present. I am grateful you were there to hold, examine, and deflect my emotions as we had to march onward through the process.
~ T.G.
We had tried other mediators and we didn't feel comfortable with them. We didn't get very much legal information and we just continued to argue in the session. You immediately had a calming effect on us and helped us feel at ease at a time when things were very hard for us. We both also felt that you remained very neutral and we both really felt supported.
~ A.G.
I know that I can really trust you. You have done such a wonderful job for us and made this difficult time in our lives much easier.
