Opening Doors to Resolution
Mediation | Conflict Coaching | Co-Parenting Seminars
​Clients work directly with the partners from start to
finish as the personalized, private model is focused on
professionalism, discretion,and individualized attention.
Confidentiality is paramount.
​
Mediation offers an affordable alternative to lengthy and
expensive legal battles, helping people maintain greater
control over outcomes while reducing emotional and financial
strain. The practice has particular experience in marital
separation matters and cases involving minor children,
including custody, visitation,co-parenting, and child support
issues as well as elder issues and estate planning. Emotional
complexity of family conflict necessitates a calm and
structured environment where productive conversations
can happen.
​
The practice is led by a retired magistrate, together with a
retired attorney, bringing decades of combined experience
in conflict resolution and the court system. Both are Supreme
Court of Virginia Certified mediators.
​​
Resolution involves finding practical solutions, preserving
dignity, and helping people move forward with clarity and
peace of mind.
