Julia handled our mediation with professionalism, compassion and sensitivity. I knew upon browsing her highly informative website that she was the best choice for us. Her office staff is knowledgeable and extremely helpful and using mediation saved us time, money, and the anxiety of a drawn-out process. At the end of our court hearing, the judge commended us on how conscientious and thorough our agreement was. Julia and her staff walked us through an otherwise painful experience with kid gloves and even over Zoom, was able to guide us through to a fair and impartial resolution. Documents were explained thoroughly and mailed in a timely manner with clear notation on where to sign and what each step required. If you’re considering mediation, look no further. I highly recommend Julia and her staff.

Julia was extremely knowledgeable, patient and responsive. Her professionalism and demeanor are exactly what a couple going through this need ... attentive, direct but empathetic and manages the process at your pace. If yours is a situation where mediation is a possibility, I recommend Julia and her team wholeheartedly. You will also have the benefit of a more cost-effective option that provides the desired outcome.
