What Our Clients Say About Our Exceptional Mediation

"I thank God for putting you with my daughter and her family. That is the MOST constructive time they've spent together since last year that I'm aware of!!! Thank you! My husband and I are very grateful for all that you did. My daughter shared briefly that she didn't think there was anyone like you. May God continue to use you in mighty ways, and bless you and your dear family."

"Thank you for your assistance during the most difficult time I have ever faced in my life. You are a kind soul and have an amazing spirit! The world needs more like you."

- Scarlett

"Thank you for honoring my wishes and prayers of feeling safe, fair, and not controlled or manipulated. Even though this is a very difficult time for us, you helped keep us on track and focused. I feel that God's presence was there and in the end we all wanted the same things, peace, dignity and a time to move forward."

- Norma

"My husband and I chose Mediation to handle the dissolution of our marriage. Divorce was a hard decision for me. In a meeting with Joe, he shared a success story where through the process of mediation he helped a couple reconcile their marriage. This story gave me hope, as my ultimate goal was for reconciliation. My husband and I have tried couples therapy, marriage counseling through our church, and what feels like every option imaginable. Joe has shown great compassion and care in dealing with us both as people going through a tough situation. It has been amazing to be a part of our sessions and witness how effective his communication skills really are. I know we both feel very fortunate to have him in our corner and know that in the end we will be more successful parents going forward."

FAQ

We understand that mediations concerns can be overwhelming. That’s why we’ve compiled answers to the most common questions to help you gain clarity and confidence about your family law case.

What is mediation, and how does it work?

Mediation is a structured, confidential process where a neutral mediator helps parties communicate, negotiate, and reach mutually agreeable solutions without going to court.

How is mediation different from going to court?

Mediation is a faster, more affordable, and less adversarial process compared to litigation. It encourages cooperation and allows both parties to have a say in the outcome rather than leaving decisions up to a judge.

What types of family matters can be resolved through mediation?

We assist with divorce mediation, child custody arrangements, parenting plans, post-divorce modifications, marital mediation, and estate planning disputes.

Is mediation legally binding?

Once both parties agree on the terms, the mediator can draft a Memorandum of Understanding or a legally binding agreement, which can be submitted to a court for approval if necessary.

How long does the mediation process take?

The timeline varies based on complexity, but most cases are resolved in a few sessions rather than the months or years a court case may take.
