Let's Work Together

Who I Work With

• Attorneys who review Memorandums of Understanding, draft Marital Settlement Agreements, and file uncontested divorces, and who respect the work couples do in mediation
• Certified Divorce Financial Analysts and financial planners who help clients understand settlement options, retirement division, and life after the divorce
• Therapists, counselors, and divorce coaches who support clients emotionally so they can make clear decisions
• Mortgage advisors and real estate professionals who understand the timing and pressure of selling or refinancing the marital home
• Appraisers, business valuators, and QDRO preparers for the technical pieces that need an expert
• Special needs professionals, including special needs planners, advocates, and attorneys who handle special needs trusts, for families whose plans must protect a child's care and benefits for the long term
• Fellow mediators and parenting coordinators for co-mediation, conflicts, and overflow

How Referrals Work

Sending clients to me. If you have a client or a couple who might do well in mediation, they can book a free 30-minute call directly, or you can introduce us by email. I'll speak with both spouses on equal terms, and I'll tell them honestly whether mediation is a good fit.

Sending clients to you. When a client needs help outside my role, I offer them names from my network. I always give more than one option when I can, and the choice is always theirs.

No referral fees, in either direction. I don't pay for referrals and I don't accept them. Clients should know that a name from me is a recommendation, not a business arrangement.

Neutrality comes first. As a mediator I'm neutral between the spouses, so I'm careful that no referral favors one of them. If you represent or treat one spouse, I'll keep you at the same arm's length from the process as anyone else.

How I Choose Who I Refer To

I only refer clients to people I've met and would send my own family to. I look for professionals who:

• Understand mediation and won't undo the work a couple has done
• Return calls and treat clients with patience
• Are clear and fair about their fees
• Know their limits and send people elsewhere when they should

If You're a Client Reading This

You won't be sent off to figure things out alone. When something comes up that's outside my role, like valuing a pension, refinancing the house, or getting support through a hard stretch, I can point you to people I know and trust. You're never obligated to use anyone I suggest.

Let's Meet

I'd love to learn about your practice and tell you about mine. Book a 30-minute colleague networking call, and let's see how we can help each other's clients.
