Resolving Family Law Matters. Efficiently.
So You Can Move On.


Before you hire a divorce lawyer, consider
the benefits of divorce mediation:

  • A balanced, structured dialogue with your spouse
  • Save money without attorneys' and court fees, or a retainer payment
  • A quicker, more efficient divorce
  • Long-lasting agreements upheld in court
  • Legal information without the threat of divorce court
  • Staying in control of your future, rather than leaving it up to a judge
  • Reduced stress and conflict and
  • Information on how to save on court filing fees.

    Working with a mediating attorney provides you with all the divorce help you need while keeping you out of court. You decide how much or how little help you need.

    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.

    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.
