What clients have said:
Lynn,
I wanted to thank you for your help through this emotionally taxing process. We both signed the agreement last week.
When I first met with you, I had no idea what to expect and I still had not gotten used to the idea of separating from my husband. Your suggestions on how to manage our children's lives while living apart were greatly appreciated. I have found the suggestions about scheduling in advance and communicating these details away from the children (e.g. during office hours) most useful. I found your home office quite welcoming and your demeanor quite considerate….We are both sticking to the intent of the agreement and that means that both of the girls will be taken care of to my satisfaction.
Thank you again for your help. ---Working Mother of Two
“Lynn, you have been super through the whole process.” Father of Two - International Consultant.
“Lynn, thank you for your help. That was the first time we all sat down at one time together. The first time, emotions were kept in check. No finger pointing, etc.
I was very happy and relieved. I feel like it was a good launching point to move forward and not dwell on past feelings, hurts or experiences.” Divorced father about mediation with parents and step-parents together.
"Lynn, another success story! We were granted an amicable divorce in August....The entire process, from
start of separation until final divorce, took 9 months and cost us $1,800....The mediated settlement really saved us a lot of emotional anguish and money.... I'm now in a support group for people who are separated and divorced....Whenever I tell my divorce story, they always say, "Well, at least you did it the right way!" Thanks for all your help. Keep up the good work." Retired Federal Employee, no children |
