Just give us a call at (818)981-1770 and we can schedule an initial NO CHARGE meeting with you and our mediators.

On a first appointment,  for FAMILY LAW matters, the parties and the Mediators get to know eachother and learn to feel comfortable in the process.  it is helpful if you bring one or two years most recent tax returns,  a general list of your assets (real property, bank accounts, investment accounts, etc.) and debts (mortgage, credit cards.)  We will eventually need more specifc information, but initially,  this will help get us started.  And, don't forget to bring a list of your questions!

For BUSINESS, ESTATE, and PROBATE MATTERS, copies of contracts, Wills , Trusts, and other documents giving rise to the dispute will be very helpful.

Yes, we can handle all paperwork needed  to start and complete the divorce or probate process.  We can prepare and file all the papers in Court on your behalf.  You never have to set foot in a Court room.

If your matter is business or probate-related, you may need independent counsel if we are unable to resolve all issues.

In order for Mediation to work, we need BOTH parties to attend the Mediation session.  If you are unable to discuss this issue with your spouse,  or the other party,  since we are neutrals (that means that we don't represent EITHER party individually), at your request, we can contact your spouse or the other involved party(ies) in a way that is non-threatening and we will make sure that the other party knows we are listening to them and want to be a part of the solution.

YES! Mediation can be brought into the process at any time.  The Courts are very happy to hear that the parties are trying mediation and actually encourage it.   Court dates can always be rescheduled to allow the parties time needed to resolve the issues through mediation .
