Its hard to put into words how unprofessional Terri was…read more She constantly interrupted even when when it was just me and my attorney talking. I pointed out that I was talking when she cut us off and would like to finish what I was saying. She stood up and started yelling saying "I'm the mediator!" My attorneys firm and myself were appalled by her behavior. Terri was constantly making issues on things that both parties had agreed on and complicating items unnecessarily. She called multiple appraisals on my truck ridiculous and made up a valuation based on no factual data. She behaved like a short tempered entitled judge that isn't capable of listening. we made significant progress when she was distanced from the conversation.

Terri White served as mediator for my family law case not once, but twice. She is highly…read moreexperienced, reasonable and to the point. She assess the circumstances and details of the case, listens attentively to both parties, and navigates the back and forth with a clear concise vision that aims to satisfy both parties. Overall, I'd recommend Terri White as a fair, thorough, and understanding mediator. PRO TIP: Understand ahead of time that compromises will most likely be made by both parties. Be realistic in your expectations. Have your key points prepared in advance. Have documentation on hand. Understand mediators and judges find zero value in hearsay. Facts speak volume. Do right by your kids. Put them first at all costs and think of their future. Exiting the family law system and not returning is the end goal.

He thought of how to protect our family in ways that never occurred to us! We will forever be grateful for his protection and it was life changing.

Mr Kollmeier assisted my mom to obtain a DIVORCE in 2003. Most recently my mom passed away. Prior…read moreto her passing I had all the necessary documents needed to handle her end of life, he had issued all the necessary paperwork 14 yrs ago that when needed all I had to do was go to the file an it was done. The staff was always helpful as well as Gary Kollmeier was professional throughout the process. I found him to be very professional, laid back and wise. For here's the deal. In a DIVORCE one side is always unhappy. My mom did ok. But it was a division of assets that had to be done. They do the heavy lifting. You're never going to get everything but looking back he protected her in ways we didn't know we would need. In DIVORCE there are no winners. He did his BEST. You can never undo who said what, who did what....that's just life. The lawyers are there to represent the person that hired them. Split the assets and protect the children. You will never get that POUND of FLESH you so desire at times. But that's for GOD to sort out. My advise...? If you want a hard working honest decent person? Here he is. Is he perfect?.... Probably not. But I can say, from my experience he was as good as they come. And he was a nice guy. Just realize he can't fix what he didn't break.
