Divorce Mediator Burlington VT

When you’re facing a separation or divorce, or dealing with a family or business conflict, you want help from someone you can trust and someone who will listen.

I’ve been there!  I’m a small business owner who has been through a mediated divorce while my son was just a toddler.  I know what it’s like to feel frightened and overwhelmed during one of life’s most painful and costly transitions.  At times like these, you don’t just need a competent lawyer in your corner, you need a compassionate listener who can give you the space to express yourself openly and without judgment.

As a skilled lawyer with over 30 years of experience working with families, children and businesses, I firmly believe that mediation is the better way to resolve most conflicts.  More and more, separating and divorcing couples, even those of high net worth, are turning to mediation because it is less adversarial, private, and less expensive than a traditional, litigated divorce. Studies show that mediation is less traumatic for children of divorce because it helps to minimize the conflict between the parents. More importantly, during mediation you remain in control of the pace of the process as you work with your mediator to make the important decisions about you, your family, and your future.

My goal is to help you navigate this important life transition by supporting you, by providing you with a legal and financial framework, and by helping you to negotiate in your own voice so you can arrive at a settlement that is equitable.
