We chose Deborah as our mediator because she took the time to speak with us during an initial consultation and made us feel heard right from the start. It was also a huge plus that her services included court filing, which made the process more streamlined and less stressful. Throughout our meetings, Deborah was generous with her time, patient, and thoughtful. She helped guide us through discussions that led to an outcome both of us felt good about. We’re grateful for her support and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a fair and compassionate mediator.
“My wife and I have had over 50 years experience working with children and families. We are keenly aware of when individuals do their jobs or when the rare circumstance occurs and people move their level of commitment to a higher level. You have humbled me as you have taken me under your wings and worked to ensure a better quality of life for me and my soon to be ex-wife. Your willingness to hold my hand and walk me through complex issues during an emotional time for us has been extraordinary. I have tears in my eyes as I sit here and thank you from the bottom of my heart for what you have done and helped me to accomplish.”
“I just wanted to thank you for the excellent work you did as it pertains to my divorce from my wife. Your attention to detail really made every aspect of our agreement so much easier to address. I appreciate your efforts to conduct a sound mediation session to assist me in resolving all of our issues so that we can both move on with our lives. My children are fortunate that we are able to work together to raise them without the constant fighting. You helped us iron out a clear schedule and division of responsibilities so we can co-parent. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”
