Lisa was recommended to me by a Lawyer friend, Dawn Gould. Lisa had a great read off of us from the…read morestart. She realized that we were as amicable as one could be during a divorce/separation and tended to our unique situation. She had a free phone consultation with us first to make us feel comfortable with the next steps. She set expectations and learned more about our situation. She was accommodating with our schedule and even rushed to give us last minute child support numbers right before running out for vacation. Communication was smooth and she responded to our emails in a timely fashion. She ensured that we felt comfortable during every session, and even gave us the freedom to pull her aside, to discuss frustrations privately. She was relate-able and had some great insight to help us stay focused on what really matters. I would definitely recommend her for anyone wanting a smooth mediation.
